networks to bring internet connectivity to millions of unserved and underserved
locations across America.
“Connectivity and competition are essential to
every American home and small business. Internet for All is a national priority
and Granite is a committed partner in delivering on the promise of the
bipartisan Infrastructure Act,” said Galvin. “INCOMPAS is the home for new
ideas that reshape our industry through proven competition and innovation
policy that drive economic growth. It’s an honor to share the stage with fellow
internet innovators, Crown Castle and Google Fiber, to
discuss best practices for building faster more affordable networks of the
