As the internet has transformed almost every area of life and become a critical part of the economy, communications policy has never been more important. In his four years as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Ajit Pai's free-market, limited government approach has driven a string of policy successes.

The Committee provides advice to the Assistant Secretary to assist in developing and maintaining spectrum management policies that enable the United States to maintain or strengthen its global leadership role in the introduction of communications technology, services, and innovation; thus expanding the economy, adding jobs, and increasing international trade, while at the same time providing for the expansion of existing technologies and supporting the country’s homeland security, national defense, and other critical needs of government missions.

Whether you were looking for new strategies to build your customer base, tools to make deployment more affordable, or the opportunity to learn from industry leaders as they explore the future of fiber—the 2020 Fiber Connect will present a comprehensive lineup of education led by the industry’s best. 

The COVID-19 pandemic and the fight for racial and social justice has the public asking why tens of millions of Americans, and particularly people of color, lack access to broadband Internet and what can be done to close this digital divide. The Benton Institute for Broadband and Society’s new report, Broadband for America Now, explores how we got here; and more importantly, what policies and practices are necessary to get every American connected.

VIAVI Solutions invites you to attend a webinar hosted by Omdia and presented by VIAVI, Lumentum and Omdia: Addressing fiber network challenges to deliver 5G.  The webinar will review new fronthaul network architectures and designs capable of supporting new wavelengths and bit rates.
