The eye-opening results are in! With 141 companies participating, the 2025 Rural Broadband Benchmark Study continues to explore the impact of inflation, broadband services, and grant programs on the rural telecommunications industry, providing 2024 benchmark results for nearly 40 metrics.
In this webinar, we’ll explore the financial and operational performance of the industry overall, and you’ll hear how other companies’ financial results compare to yours to help you target areas for improvement. The release of the full 2025 Rural Broadband Benchmark Report will be available later this year and will delve into how these key metrics are reshaping the industry.

- 20+ years after the rollout of broadband services, internet revenues continue to provide growth opportunities.
- Operating profitability has been impacted by slowing inflation and decreasing operating expenses.
- Rural companies are financially strong, with particularly robust balance sheets.
- Even in the face of increased competition and regulatory and legislative uncertainty, the industry has succeeded in the growth of broadband services.
