Engagement throughout FBA increases across all initiatives

NASHVILLE, Tenn.: Today at Fiber Connect 2025, the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA) announced accelerated growth throughout its organization, including membership, working groups, and events. As public and private investment in fiber broadband increases, FBA provides the advocacy, research, tools, and opportunities the industry needs to accelerate fiber network deployments across North America.

FBA supports the entire fiber broadband ecosystem, from network operators to technology innovators. The industry is investing significantly in fiber to ensure all Americans are connected and FBA is a lifeline to ensure they have the right resources and knowledge to get the job done right the first time. Its membership in North America has grown 178% in the last five years—hitting nearly 20% growth in 2025 alone and reaching 625 member companies in May 2025. More network operators have joined FBA than ever before, currently representing 45% of its membership.

“As historic investments flow into fiber broadband, the need for trusted collaboration, education, and best practices has never been greater,” said Jennifer Vassil, Vice President, Membership, Fiber Broadband Association. “The rapid growth of our membership demonstrates the fact that FBA is a critical partner to those delivering reliable, high-quality connectivity to communities across North America. We’re honored to support and amplify this momentum.”

In addition to membership growth, FBA has experienced an uptick in engagement as well with 1,450 employees from member companies contributing to FBA committees and working groups. FBA North America now has 19 committees, roundtables, and working groups that are focused on developing and publishing studies and industry best practices. Four new working groups were added this year, including the AI & Machine Learning Working Group, Membership Working Group, Middle Mile Working Group, and the Canadian Working Group.

To support its rapid growth, FBA added nearly 40% more staff over the past two years and has grown its events series to include more Regional Fiber Connect workshops, policy-focused events in Washington, D.C., and member meet ups. FBA members can also participate in the FBA Community, an online forum for knowledge and resource-sharing.
