NCTA applauds @SenEricSchmitt and @SenAlexPadilla for introducing the Senate companion to the Stopping the Theft and Destruction of Broadband Act, building bipartisan momentum to address vandalism of critical communications infrastructure.
Stronger federal deterrents and penalties will help protect these networks and the millions of Americans who rely on them every day.

#CalBroadband urges @GovGavin to approve #AB1941 @AsmMarkGonzalez addresses enforcement related to copper wire theft, an issue that has affected critical infrastructure, transportation systems, utilities, businesses, and communities across the state. #AB1941 will strengthen tools available to law enforcement and prosecutors to address theft and related disruptions.
How Broadband Providers Stay Ready for Natural Disasters ncta.com/news/broadband-prov…
Today the California Assembly voted 54-0 to pass #AB1941 (Mark González) which would create new categories of crimes for any individual who “acts in concert with one or more people to steal metal materials” that they know or should know are owned by a telecommunications company, railroad or other utility, as well as anyone who “acts in concert with two or more persons to receive, purchase, or possess” those metals. The crime is punishable by up to one year in jail. Congratulations @AsmMarkGonzalez ! The Governor has until Sept. 30 to sign or veto bills.
We’re proud to support #Prop45 to modernize the permitting process and cut delays on building healthcare facilities, housing, water infrastructure, and more. Join us in supporting @YesProp45CA to cut red tape and lower the cost of living. Join here: bit.ly/4rNKYxl

America's broadband providers and wireless carriers are uniting against network vandalism.
Three major providers joined NCTA's STRIKE initiative to combat the surge in copper theft, fiber cuts, and threats to critical communications infrastructure.

"At a time when Americans are feeling pressure from rising household costs, there’s an important – and often overlooked – bright spot: broadband internet. It's not by accident. It’s the result of intense competition and sustained private investment in broadband internet networks, with providers investing tens of billions of dollars annually in infrastructure." - ustelecom.org/wp-content/upl… @asmtasha @joshua_hoover @CAgovernor @BenAllenCA @SenOchoaBogh
As Americans feel pressure with household costs, there’s a bright spot: affordable broadband internet.
It’s often overlooked. In fact, a survey shows it’s the cost Americans are least concerned about – that’s because consumers are getting more value.

When networks go down, it's not always technical. The NCTA highlights the growing cost of criminal infrastructure attacks on U.S. broadband networks. ow.ly/R6mU50YS50c

International Center for Law & Economics finds the Public Advocates Office’s broadband pricing report “mistakenly equates healthy broadband competition with the presence of multiple overlapping gigabit-capable wireline networks.” “[F]ocusing on high-end, gigabit-tier pricing ignores how most consumers choose lower-speed, more affordable plans that meet typical broadband needs and show relatively stable prices…” Read More Here: tinyurl.com/mwd6rww2
