Beyond Speed — Competing in a Maturing Broadband Market
The broadband market is entering a new phase. One that is less defined by raw speed and more by how networks are used, valued, and monetized. On this week’s Fiber for Breakfast, Gary sat down with Omdia’s Jaimie Lenderman and Alzbeta Fellenbaum to explore what comes next for operators across North America. The conversation pointed to a market that is still growing, but also becoming more complex, where deployment, competition, and customer expectations are evolving at the same time.
FBA is now accepting applications for its Women in Fiber Mentoring Program, a professional development initiative that connects emerging leaders with experienced mentors across the fiber broadband industry.
The program helps participants build skills, expand their networks, and support one another’s career growth in a collaborative, inclusive environment. The committee is always looking for additional mentors who are interested in giving back, sharing their experience, and helping shape the next generation of industry leaders.
