Thanks for tuning in to today’s #ATTPolicyForum & big thank you to Ed Gillespie @salkhanacademy @JSpalter @drturnerlee @TXSassinDC @JohnHendel for sharing your thoughts on how together we can build a more inclusive digital economy. We look forward to continuing the conversation!

.@TXSassinDC of @MANANational: Just because you’re connected to a mobile device, it doesn’t mean you have equitable access to the internet. We must have the tools & resources in place to ensure there is an even playing field #ATTPolicyForum

.@TXSassinDC of @MANANational: With another school year starting, there is urgency and we must come together now to help close the broadband gap. #ATTPolicyForum

.@drturnerlee of @brookingsinst: Advancing broadband is an all hands-on-deck issue and we need everyone at the table, private and public #ATTPolicyForum

.@drturnerlee of @brookingsinst: Broadband keeps students connected to learning, adults connected to telehealth, workers connected to their jobs. Without broadband, you become digitally invisible and don't have the same access and opportunities. #ATTPolicyForum

.@Jspalter of @USTelecom: U.S. networks performed very well but the private investment alone won’t get the job done. We must finish the job of connectivity, in all parts of the country. #ATTPolicyForum

.@JSpalter of @USTelecom: We have to be bold. We must meet the needs of all Americans to ensure that no one is left behind when it comes to broadband. Congress must invest in broadband now. #ATTPolicyForum

.@salkhanacademy of @khanacademy: Social development happens in school, but in today's environment, distance learning is now the lifeline to our students' community and peers. We must figure out how to deliver both education and the connection to the community #ATTPolicyForum

The silver lining here is that there is a generation of heroic teachers who now have more liberty to experiment and innovate in the classroom, says @salkhanacademy #ATTPolicyForum

.@salkhanacademy of @khanacademy: If we can’t get students to engage over the coming year, their skills will fall behind and they may lose the pattern of school. There are glimmers of hope though. There are great examples of how distanced learning has worked well. #ATTPolicyForum

“At @att, we are committed to working with Congress and the industry to make progress on broadband deployment and give all communities the tools they need,” says AT&T’s Ed Gillespie #ATTPolicyForum

AT&T’s Ed Gillespie: Congress has opportunity to invest in infrastructure deployment needed to make universal broadband a reality. Starting by fully funding Broadband DATA Act, modernizing FCC's Lifeline program & more #ATTPolicyForum
