T-Mobile Says It's Making Investments to Help Tackle Digital Divide

T-Mobile representatives discussed issues faced by wireless as the agency tackles digital discrimination, in virtual meetings with aides to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel and Alejandro Roark, Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau chief. “Wireless signals do not travel along streets or follow traditional residential patterns,” said a filing posted Thursday in docket 22-69: “In determining whether broadband deployment is equitable, we urged the Commission to consider the massive investment the company is making, as well as the once-in-a-generation buildout that will happen over the next few years as a result of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The so-called digital divide could be greatly diminished or even eliminated over the next few years.”
