AT&T has announced plans to accelerate fiber deployment to one million locations, prompted by the passage of H.R. 1, which renews FCC's ability to auction radio spectrum. This legislation is expected to enhance AT&T's network infrastructure. The company has expressed support for the bill’s tax provisions that facilitate investment in broadband networks. Furthermore, AT&T aims to reach 60 million homes and businesses with fiber by 2030, pending approval for acquiring Lumen's mass market fiber business. Additional customer service commitments have also been made in early 2023.
AT&T has pledged to accelerate fiber deployment in one million locations in response to the passage of H.R. 1, signed into law July 4 by President Donald Trump.
The law, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, renews the ability of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to auction radio spectrum, which is crucial for AT&T's network expansion.
AT&T stated that it supports the tax and spectrum pipeline provisions that will enable continued investment in next-generation broadband networks.
AT&T aims to pass 60 million homes and businesses with fiber by 2030, contingent on stockholder and FCC approval of its acquisition plans.
