On Friday, the CARES Act was signed into law, including $200M for telehealth. Today, I voted on an FCC Order that fast-tracks this funding to help fight #COVID19. Thanks to Chairman @AjitPaiFCC and the FCC’s great staff for this quick action. Let’s get all the votes in ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Will join @LarryOConnor on his radio show🎙soon - around 4:35 Eastern today - to discuss the work we’re doing at the FCC to keep Americans connected during #COVID19 — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. networks are showing strength and resiliency in the face of these new online traffic patterns. In fact, networks here are showing far fewer signs of “Internet pressure” or higher latency than other parts of the world that have been hit hard by COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

The FCC’s vote will support the healthcare equivalent of shifting from Blockbuster to Netflix. With telehealth, Americans don’t always need to visit brick and mortar facilities to receive care. And this type of connected care is particularly important right now with #Covid19. https://t.co/9AaNtVSbdf — PolitiTweet.org

~NEWS~ FCC now voting on telehealth initiative to support America’s #Covid19 response ✅ $200M fast-tracked for Emergency Covid-19 Program ✅ $100M for Connected Care Pilot I’ve been leading @FCC Kudos to @AjitPaiFCC for accelerating FCC work to support our healthcare heroes https://t.co/Wu7nuQ61dt — PolitiTweet.org

* “has reported” is doing a lot of work here. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans are also using networks differently. Predictably, there’s an increase in online collaboration tools, such as conference calling apps - up 47% More surprising, though, is the increase we’re seeing in traditional voice calls - AT&T, for instance, reports a 51% increase. — PolitiTweet.org

Traffic is also shifting geographically. Network traffic is down 10% in office areas and down 5% on campuses, while it is up 20% in residential areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

This “new” traffic isn’t evenly distributed across network types - and that is a good thing. Wireline networks, which have more capacity (fiber & cable), are seeing a greater increase than mobile wireless ones (since we’re staying put) Wireline up ~25% Wireless up 0.7% to 9.2% — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

A couple of key takeaways: While Internet traffic is up, we’re not seeing surges that drastically exceed normal “peak hour” levels. The bigger trend is higher than normal traffic during the day that remains well within network capacity, as this helpful @WSJ chart shows: https://t.co/HfkbtM127d — PolitiTweet.org

How is the Internet holding up in America after a surge in traffic with Covid-19? I take a deep dive into the data below. ✅ Wireline traffic up ~18% to 25% ✅ Wireless traffic up only ~0.7% to 9.7% ✅ U.S. networks are strong and well within capacity https://t.co/VceNAOsOwJ — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

With COVID-19, we are relying on the Internet more than ever before to stay connected. At the @FCC, we’re tracking network performance in light of increased demand. As the data detailed here show, our networks are showing strength and capacity: https://t.co/BDA0PDumvh — PolitiTweet.org

Internet providers in the U.S. have invested heavily in their networks over the past few years and built out Internet infrastructure at a record clip. As more activity moves online, those networks are strong, resilient, and have enough capacity to manage current peak demands. — PolitiTweet.org
