Fiber Broadband Association News Section Header

Dear Fiber Broadband Association Members,

 

Fiber has had significant momentum over the last few years thanks to investment from companies like yours. As we continue on this path, FBA is dedicated to providing industry-leading research and analyses to support your teams in deploying fiber in your communities and across the US. 

 

A cornerstone of this mission is our annual Fiber Deployment Cost Report. First published in 2023, this report has become the industry's leading resource on deployment cost benchmarks and trends. The report summarizes findings from our annual fiber deployment cost survey, which is conducted by our research partners at Cartesian. 

 

FBA members play a key role in ensuring the success of this study in accurately depicting what it is like to deploy fiber in 2025. It is through your participation in the survey that we can present the most representative view of the current deployment landscape, including challenges you face, whether it be permitting delays, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, or other barriers. 

 

Now is the time to provide your input. We ask you to take this opportunity to support our research on fiber deployment in the US by taking the online survey. If you prefer to provide input via a short phone interview, please reach out to Megan Corriveau at megan.corriveau@cartesian.com.
