Naturally, we’re seeing more network operators choose fiber and we’re thrilled to congratulate those that have achieved at least 90% fiber networks,” said Gary Bolton, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association. “These operators are ensuring their communities have access to reliable, high-performance broadband and the economic, employment, and education opportunities that come with that connection to a fiber network.”
