WASHINGTON, Sep. 26, 2024 - The Broadband Communications Association of Pennsylvania is hosting its first-ever Broadband Technology Day at the Pennsylvania state capitol in Harrisburg on Sep. 30.
The event, held in the Main Rotunda, will include exhibits by eight BCAP members to demonstrate the complexity of broadband technologies and tell some of the history of the broadband internet industry in Pennsylvania.
Among the BCAP members planning to participate are Service Electric Cablevision, Blue Ridge Communications, and Breezeline.
A Harrisburg-based organization, BCAP works with member companies and their customers to promote and protect the broadband communications industry through political advocacy.
BCAP’s program will also examine the situation of unserved and underserved communities, hoping to highlight the promise that expanded broadband Internet access can offer those on the wrong side of the digital divide.
The ambitious undertaking is supported by a $20 million grant awarded under the 2021 Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program.
Satellite companies want easier access, while carriers say that could upend licenses they purchased.
The agency tapped Tricia J. Paoletta and Matthew Plaster as senior advisors
The fire chiefs voiced strong support in May 2025 for NextNav’s new technology, before shifting gears just last month.
