Our Priorities
Advocating for strong policies at the state & local level to facilitate greater technology and infrastructure investment.
Driving Innovation
Kentucky’s broadband networks now provide gigabit speeds throughout the vast majority of the state. And the internet of tomorrow is in Kentucky today with speeds of up to 10 Gigabit expected for residential customers within just a few years.
The vast, robust network made available to Kentuckians through our KBCA member companies is rooted in the commitment to be the leader in technology and innovation to benefit our customers and your needs at home, on the go, at work and play.
KBCA members understand: It’s customers first.
Our member companies stand with our customers in support of policies and laws that foster the deployment of an open internet, free of the burden of rules and regulations that show up on your monthly bill as increased costs.
KBCA members won’t block, throttle or otherwise interfere with the customer experience to use your content as desired. Rather, KBCA members are building powerful networks through over $1.4 trillion in private investment since the mid-1990s to improve your digital experience and opportunities.
Investing in Infrastructure
Kentucky Broadband’s member companies are leading the way to deploy broadband in rural areas, all across the Commonwealth. Working in partnership with the federal, state, and local governments, KBCA members are building ultra-fast broadband to connect more than 300,000 rural Kentuckians that have had no access to quality internet service.
This investment in infrastructure delivers $2.9 Billion annually in economic activity in the state creating nearly 22,000 direct and indirect jobs. Kentucky’s broadband providers ensure availability, affordability and quality of fiber-rich networks that weave a strong thread through the fabric of our state’s economy.
Kentucky Broadband members stand firm in their commitment to provide the infrastructure and services to meet the ever-changing needs of individuals, families, and businesses throughout our state’s growing workforce in preparation for the jobs of the future and the careers of today.
Strengthening Communities
To deliver service to all Kentuckians, KBCA members are committed to investing in infrastructure and affordable broadband.
Charter’s low-cost internet service, Spectrum Internet Assist brings high-speed internet into the homes of families and seniors for a reduced rate, ensuring more Kentuckians have access to the technology and tools they need to participate fully in today’s economy.
Through Internet Essentials, Comcast provides thousands of low-income Kentuckians with access to advanced communications in their homes.
Because access to infrastructure is just part of maximizing high-speed broadband, the members of KBCA are providing and partnering with communities across the state to address digital literacy programs to equip and prepare lifetime learners, of all ages, for opportunity.
