SHLB Coalition

The SHLB Coalition promotes funding for programs to ensure open, affordable, and high-quality bandwidth for Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs) in the US.

SHLB's approach involves building broadband "to and through" CAIs, providing low-cost connections to the communities around them. The organization advocates for policies that include CAIs, are provider-neutral and commercially-viable, embrace new technologies, and fund broadband networks that are open to interconnection and shared use.

The SHLB Coalition is the only organization that represents the interests of all anchors on broadband issues.
