Remarks of FCC Commissioner Starks at Ericsson's 2022 Broadband For All Summit

"It is a tremendously exciting time to be a broadband advocate," said Federal Communications Commissioner Geoffrey Starks at Ericsson's 2022 Broadband For All Summit. "Accelerated by the pandemic, the world’s digital
transformation has shown no signs of stopping...These developments should be celebrated, and I share the excitement that many of you feel. But, sometimes, this level of excitement, no matter how well deserved, can tempt us to mistake our achievements for ultimate success. We cannot afford to do that with broadband. With broadband, no matter how much we manage to achieve along the way, we will not be truly successful unless every person has the same opportunity to participate in our connected future, and unless we build that future responsibly, sustainably, and with our climate in mind."
