The passage of the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act brings with it billions in new investments in the U.S. for expanding broadband and closing the digital divide, improving our cybersecurity defenses, enhancing government digital services, and much more. But how can this funding be allocated to ensure that the largest infrastructure bill in recent history is delivering its full benefits to all Americans?  

Hear from FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks on how government can work with industry to ensure effective and timely deployment of infrastructure funding.

The event will also feature industry leaders who will discuss modernizing digital infrastructure and providing secure connectivity to all Americans. Panelists will include Alissa Cooper, VP and CTO for Technology Policy for Cisco Systems; Jon Lin, EVP & General Manager of Data Center Services for Equinix; Dr. Durga Malladi, SVP & GM of 5G, Mobile Broadband & Infrastructure for Qualcomm Technologies; Jason Zelley, Market Development Manager of Carrier Networks and Emerging Accounts for Corning Incorporated.
