AT&T just got a major boost from the new “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” giving the telecom giant fresh growth momentum.
Earlier today, the company revealed that the new legislation clears the way for a big jump in its fiber-optic rollout starting in 2026, they’ll be able to add an extra one million locations each year without tax delays.
By freeing up money through tax breaks and opening up more midband wireless spectrum, the act nudged AT&T to speed up its investment in faster, more reliable internet service. The carrier says this is designed not just to satisfy growing demand from customers but also to help America stay competitive in the global tech race.
AT&T credits key lawmakers (like Senate Majority Leader Thune, Ted Cruz, Speaker Johnson) and points to leadership from President Trump in pushing these priorities through the budget reconciliation process.
Customers can expect clearer financial details when AT&T shares its second-quarter earnings on July 23, 2025. That report will outline how much they’ll invest and what this expansion means for future service rollouts.
In simpler terms, thanks to the new law, AT&T is preparing to reach more neighborhoods with fiber internet faster than planned. Faster connections usually mean happier customers and potentially more business for them in communities that get access next.
