The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare how important America’s digital infrastructure is to keeping the economy running, keeping us connected, getting us vaccinated, and allowing our kids to continue to learn. All industries and infrastructures have taken a hit during the pandemic, but digital infrastructure has proved resilient beyond expectation. The question Washington DC is now addressing is how to bring broadband to the remaining Americans who don’t have it. A key ingredient to that will be funding from Congress and innovation and commitment from the broadband industry.

Social media platforms like Instagram have become key places for businesses to communicate with customers and even sell directly to consumers. Yet when it comes to actually making a purchase, do consumers trust a social media site over a domain?

Earlier this year, the i2Coalition conducted a representative survey of US millennials to find out how social media and domains impact their purchasing behavior.

Communications networks have seen a lot of change over the past 20 years. Today, the wireless industry is shutting down 2G and 3G networks to make room for 5G, the next generation of wireless technology.

Phasing out obsolete legacy networks and repurposing the spectrum will bring enormous benefits to the public. Unlike transitions before it -- including the Tech Transitions and the Analog Sunset -- the Federal Communications Commission has not taken any action to supervise or coordinate the 3G Sunset.
