Broadband

Affordable, reliable, high-speed internet access is becoming a necessity for families and businesses. I'm working hard to remove barriers that are hindering expansion of this service in our communities.

Here are some Broadband bills I filed in the last couple of years:

November 17, 2020 Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Emergency Broadband Initiative

August 11, 2020 Northern Loudoun All Points/ NOVEC Announcement I was pleased to join All Points Broadband and NOVEC to announce an agreement that will support All Points’ efforts to extend

fiber-to-the-home broadband service to more than 1,000 homes in northern Loudoun County. The initial locations targeted for service are within or adjacent to NOVEC’s service territory and do not have access to fiber-optic, gigabit-capable broadband today. If you live in the area in purple on the map below, and are interested in receiving this fiber-optic internet, please read more and register your location here.

July, 2020 update on LCPS / Loudoun County Government / SEGRA Fiber Network The LCPS Fiber network is nearing completion, and work on the County project is moving forward. While this fiber network will provide better internet service to schools and government facilities, and save significant taxpayer money over time, I'm most excited about these projects because SEGRA will make fiber available for internet service providers in the area. Contact me if your neighborhood is near the network (see map to the right, and at link above) and needs broadband service.

In May of 2019, Purcellville Mayor Kwasi Frazeer and I hosted a Broadband Town Hall meeting. The handout from this meeting is here. A news article covering the Broadband Town Hall is here Another news article highlighting some of the progress we're making in Loudoun is here

One critical issue that has been hindering rural broadband efforts around the country is lack of realistic maps of where people are served or not. In very exciting recent news, Virginia has a head-start on other states, because the Commonwealth was one of two states in a groundbreaking new mapping process. More information on the mapping pilot program is here.

August 15, 2018, I gave a presentation on HB1283 at the Virginia Broadband Advisory Council meeting.

While HB656 did not pass in 2018, it led to ongoing meetings and coordination between Loudoun County and DHR staff; one provider recently told me "As an applicant, we continue to see great strides by DHR in this area and are grateful for everyone’s efforts and support."

Another important piece of rural broadband legislation I supported was my Loudoun County colleague Randy Minchew's 2016 legislation HB912 Transportation, Department of; installation of broadband conduit on public highways.
