AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced plans to significantly accelerate the expansion of its fiber infrastructure, fueled by pro-investment provisions in the newly passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The legislation, approved by Congress earlier today, is poised to catalyze nationwide innovation and economic opportunity through robust broadband and spectrum policies.

The Act aims to bolster the United States’ leadership in next-generation technologies, while creating a favorable environment for capital investment in digital infrastructure. In response, AT&T expects to increase its investment beginning in 2026—adding an additional 1 million fiber customer locations annually, on top of its existing deployment plans.

“This landmark legislation enables us to move faster and reach farther,” said an AT&T spokesperson. “It aligns with our long-standing mission to connect Americans to greater possibility through cutting-edge technology. We’re committed to helping close the digital divide and empower communities across the nation.”

A key component of the Act is the establishment of a midband spectrum pipeline—a move that addresses surging consumer demand and ensures the U.S. remains globally competitive in wireless innovation. These spectrum provisions, combined with powerful tax incentives for capital investment, will help fulfill FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s vision of unleashing high-speed network builds and restoring America’s lead in wireless technology.

AT&T expressed its gratitude to the legislative champions of the Act, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Brett Guthrie, for prioritizing smart infrastructure policies. The company also recognized President Donald J. Trump for his leadership in ensuring that spectrum access and tax incentives remained focal points throughout the reconciliation process.

AT&T will provide further details on the anticipated financial impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—including updates to its 2025 outlook and long-term capital allocation strategy—during its second quarter earnings announcement scheduled for July 23, 2025.
