A candid, on-the-ground perspective on the barriers fiber providers face as they work to meet growing compute and power demands — including permitting delays, rights-of-way challenges, environmental reviews, workforce constraints, and inconsistencies across federal, state, and local processes. We’ll connect broadband deployment policy directly to critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity resilience, and long-term economic competitiveness.
