Following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), AT&T has announced plans to accelerate its fiber network expansion. The OBBB provides tax breaks to businesses and makes more wireless airwaves available for companies to build faster internet and phone networks, aiming to create jobs and boost the economy.
AT&T expects to increase its fiber customer locations by an additional 1 million annually starting in 2026, attributing this growth to the bill's pro-investment policies and tax provisions.
The company expressed gratitude to key political figures for advancing the bill and credited President Donald Trump for prioritizing spectrum availability and capital investment during the reconciliation process.
Despite a recent public incident where Trump publicly criticized AT&T for technical difficulties, the company remains focused on its infrastructure upgrades and future investments.
