Inclusion in Connectivity - Preserving Affordable Broadband for a Connected California!
Voices for Advancing Digital Progress
“In an age when digital dominates every aspect of our lives, the importance of connectivity access cannot be overstated…Calls for increased regulations are usually well-intended, but the risk is that overly stringent regulations can have the opposite effect by creating unnecessary or duplicative barriers that raise costs for compliance and stifle future innovation potential.”
Brett Klein
Account Executive at StackAdapt
“As the leading voice for San Gabriel Valley residents, we respectfully urge the Commission to reject new service quality metrics and, instead, help remove barriers and unlock funding that accelerates broadband deployment in underserved, rural and tribal communities.”
Edward J. Rendon
Executive Director, San Gabriel Civic Alliance
“As someone working in California’s health care industry that relies on connectivity – one of the crown jewels of our state, and certainly an enormous economic driver, it’s heartening to see the investment being funneled into expanding and enhancing cellular networks’ coverage and capabilities…
But the type of proposal put out by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to create new telecommunication service regulations, though well intentioned, does nothing to advance our state’s innovative leadership.”
Joe Herrera
California Healthcare Professional
“We are very concerned that the imposition of new standards, though well-intentioned, may impact broadband expansion efforts in areas with less connectivity or no broadband access at all. We also worry this new standard will increase costs to consumers and small businesses, and write in strong opposition to imposing new metrics.”
Paul Little
President & Chief Executive Officer, Pasadena Chamber of Commerce & Civic Association
“Commissioners must reject proposed service quality metrics to keep accelerating efforts to boost connectivity for all. Instead, the Commission should focus on actions that will spur – not stifle – further investment in increasing wireless access, adoption, and affordability throughout the state, in urban and rural areas alike, to finally close the digital divide.”
