CABLE DURING COVID

As the world marks one year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cable industry also takes a look back at its response and broadband network performance as more and more of our lives went online by necessity

The bottom line? Networks stood up to increased demand, cable companies connected even more families to broadband without government assistance, and the federal government passed assistance programs designed to increase broadband access. While these advances were in response to the pandemic, they’ll have long-lasting impacts.

CABLE SAVES ENERGY

As Texas lawmakers consider measures during this month of Earth Day to ensure sufficient energy is available to meet the needs of the state’s booming population, the cable industry for almost a decade has voluntarily committed to industry agreements designed to save energy. 

One of those agreements – that has just been renewed through 2025 – has saved consumers $7 billion in electricity costs, decreased set-top box annual energy consumption by 46% and averted 39 million metric tons of CO2 emissions from 2012 to 2019, according to an independent audit released last fall.

In addition, cable’s energy efficiency measures played an important role in the past year when consumers needed faster broadband and increased capacity to function during the pandemic.

BREAKING BROADBAND BARRIERS

Hurricanes, a pandemic and then a massive snowstorm have heightened the importance of access to broadband in Texas, and many legislators – and indeed the governor – have taken up the cause as an emergency item this session. Bills to expand access to broadband are moving through the legislative process, and this priority of Gov. Greg Abbott is receiving bipartisan, public and other widespread support, including from the Texas cable industry. 

The Texas Cable Association (TCA) and our five member cable companies are the state’s leading broadband providers and have invested billions of dollars in broadband infrastructure and access programs in the past decade. 

While cable fully backs the goal to connect more Texans to broadband, achieving it will require passage of House Bill 1505 by state Rep. Chris Paddie (R-Marshall) to remove antiquated regulations and other barriers that hamper broadband deployment.

CABLE LEADERS: DIVERSITY, EQUALITY & INCLUSION

Diversity is important, in all parts of U.S. society. No longer do we limit such conversations to Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month or other specific times of the year. In our industry, cable companies have made diversity, equality and inclusion (DE&I) key components of their culture, mission and practices. 

Two leaders in this field – Teresa Ward-Maupin, senior vice president, digital and customer experience, Comcast Business, and Donna Chatman, vice president of Sparklight’s South Central Division – share why DE&I is an important focus for their companies, and how their efforts have evolved.

BROADBAND: CABLE AND TEXAS PRIORITY

During this legislative session, the Texas Cable Association (TCA) and its five member cable providers look forward to joining with Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Legislature to bring broadband service to more Texans. Abbott has declared broadband expansion a legislative emergency item, and a number of legislators have filed related bills.

In addition, the governor in his State of the State address said he would like to see the use of telemedicine (which relies on broadband) grow so that it benefits Texans across the state.

For more than two decades, cable operators have invested billions of dollars of private capital in infrastructure, technology, low-income access programs and more. 

The Texas Cable Association is ready to work with Abbott and the Texas Legislate to bring vital broadband service to even more unserved Texans.
