AT&T announced that, thanks to the investment promotion policies in the just passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act in Congress, the company will accelerate the construction of fiber optic infrastructure.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act will stimulate investment, maintain America’s leadership in innovation, and create economic opportunities nationwide. Benefiting from the policies in this bill, AT&T expects to accelerate its investment in next-generation networks after the bill is signed into law, adding 1 million fiber coverage points annually starting from 2026.

The bill also creates a mid frequency spectrum resource library that helps meet the growing demands of consumers and maintain technological competitiveness between the United States and other countries. Combined with tax incentives in the bill, this legislation paves the way for achieving FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s goal of unleashing the potential for high-speed infrastructure construction through wise policies and restoring the United States’ global leadership in wireless technology.

AT&T thanks Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie for their efforts in establishing a spectrum resource library and restoring FCC auction authorization. Meanwhile, the company thanks President Trump for his leadership in prioritizing spectrum availability and capital investment tax incentives during the coordination process.

AT&T plans to update the expected impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the company’s 2025 and long-term financial outlook and capital allocation plans when releasing its Q2 2025 financial report. The financial report is expected to be released on July 23, 2025.
