Across Kansas, families, small businesses, students, hospitals, and entire communities rely on fast, dependable broadband. It’s no longer a luxury—it’s the infrastructure that keeps our modern lives connected. But while the technology powering that connectivity has advanced quickly, Kansas law governing how broadband providers access and use public right-of-way has not kept up. And that gap is now creating inequities that affect providers and the customers we serve. Today, cable companies, phone companies, and broadband-only providers all use the public ROW to deliver service.
