NCTA - The Internet & Television Association

The broadband industry is dedicated to deploying high-speed networks throughout the country to ensure all Americans can access broadband service.

The Internet & Television Association announced the appointment of Cory Gardner as its new President & Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Michael Powell, who announced his retirement earlier this year after nearly 15 years of distinguished service leading the organization. Gardner’s tenure begins on September 22. Gardner, a former U.S. Senator from Colorado who also served in the U.S. House of Representatives, held committee assignments in both chambers that oversaw technology and telecommunications policy.

A robust internet connection has become indispensable in our lives. During the COVID pandemic, US broadband networks performed resiliently even during historic surges in internet traffic when many companies and schools went entirely remote, according to performance tests and reports. But besides powering our digital lives, it’s important to ensure that broadband is meeting consumer expectations and evolving in the right direction.
