🚨 PROTECT OUR WORK – ACT NOW! 🚨
Our hard-earned progress in broadband expansion is under threat! The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocated $42 billion to build high-speed fiber networks, creating good union jobs and ensuring reliable internet for our communities.
📢 But now, satellite CEOs are trying to redirect these funds to unreliable satellite internet services—which employ fewer workers, have no union representation, and offer weaker performance compared to fiber.
💡 Here’s Why We Must Take a Stand:
✅ Fiber = More Jobs | Satellite employs fewer workers and lacks union representation.
✅ Fiber = Faster & More Reliable | Satellite slows down as more people connect and is disrupted by weather.
✅ Fiber = Long-Term Investment | Satellites need costly replacements every 5 years, while fiber lasts 20-40 years.
📢 Take Action NOW!
Tell the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to stand strong against pressure to divert public funding to unreliable satellite services.
