NTCA and ACA Say BEAD Must Continue to Prioritize Fiber Over Alternative Technologies
Briefly

"Fiber is now the clear favorite over fixed wireless or satellite connections, solidifying the shift in the broadband business from technology neutrality to fiber-first policies."
"The draft statement from NTIA widens potential alternative technology application, reflecting a potential shift back towards technology neutrality despite calls for fiber-first strategies."
"Despite some support for technology neutrality, associations like NTCA stress prioritizing fiber deployment as crucial for achieving effective broadband access for all Americans."
"House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers noted NTIA's recent openness to alternative technologies, emphasizing past inefficiencies in connecting Americans."
