2021 Predictions: How The Broadband Industry Will Deliver To Consumer Expectations In 2021

DENVER, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer expectations for connectivity and bandwidth have accelerated what would have taken years, to just months in 2020. Federal stimulus packages and capital investment are at an all-time high, resulting in unprecedented urgency to deliver reliable, high-speed broadband across the country.

The demand far outpaces the speed and scale at which telecommunications infrastructure can be built, and the entire industry is tasked with advancing broadband accessibility and delivery in this new environment.  

How as an industry can we address these near-term challenges with strategic policy, funding and partnerships? What role does innovation and technology play? What are the key trends enabling the industry to deliver on the promise of digital equality for all U.S communities?

On Tuesday, January 26 a panel of industry thought leaders, including Render CEO Sam Pratt, are weighing in on these topics, key predictions, and areas of opportunities for netwrk operators to maximize their investment, accelerate deployment and connect customers smarter.

Q&A discussions topics will include:

• Lessons learned in 2020 including project delivery highlights
• Funding models - what will the public and private landscape look like?
• Best-practice network deployment trends and approaches
• Innovative and future-ready technologies
• Strategic partnerships

Attendees can expect insightful conversations, including key predictions such as:
