As service providers look to help consumers and businesses take advantage of higher wireline and wireless 5G broadband services, the United States will require an investment of $130 billion to $150 billion in new fiber infrastructure over the next 5-7 years.
In a new study called "Communications Infrastructure Upgrade – The Need for Deep Fiber,” Deloitte said that new fiber investments will not only unlock new 5G service offerings, but also broaden broadband competition and rural broadband coverage.
