The damages that the state took have been massive. There have been relief reponses and help from the government as well as other states like Louisiana. AT&T announced on Thursday that they would be providing free access to their network for non-customers if their carriers have no service. The service includes unlimited access to data, calls, and texts. Other companies such as T-Mobile and Verizon have joined in on the offer on the same day. https://tinyurl.com/2p97ffy8

Speaking at a Bank of America investor conference on September 8th, Comcast EVP and Deputy CFO and Treasurer Jason Armstrong said the cable network operator will be in the market with DOCSIS 4.0 and offering symmetrical multi-gig broadband in the second half of 2023. Currently, upload speeds top out at 200 Mbps. Armstrong said: "Comcast fiber connectivity has gone from 0% to 40% sort of across our footprint in a fairly linear fashion. And in that time frame, we've become America's number one broadband provider, 32 million subs. I would tell you in the last couple of years through the pandemic, we added three million subscribers in an environment where fiber was actually picking up in terms of the presence in the markets that served against us ... Fixed wireless access (FWA) is newer, but longer term, fiber is the real long-term competitor. And it always has been. Our view hasn't changed. It's a very viable competitor." Comcast said rollouts of its 2-gig offering are underway in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Augusta, Georgia; and Panama City Beach, Florida. It added the service will be available in a total of 34 markets by the end of 2022 and to more than 50 million locations across the country by the end of 2025. Comcast already offers speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps across its entire cable network using DOCSIS 3.1 technology and has been rolling out mid-split upgrades over the past several months in preparation for an update to DOCSIS 4.0. Speeds of up to 6 Gbps are already available to certain Xfinity fiber customers. https://techblog.comsoc.org/2022/09/09/comcast-to-roll-out-docsis-4-0-and-multi-gig-speeds-in-2023-fiber-not-fwa-is-the-real-competitor/
