In an ambitious push toward a connected future, Hawaiian Telcom, in collaboration with federal, state, and county leaders, has unveiled a $1.7 billion initiative to position Hawai‘i as the first fully fiber-enabled state in the U.S. by 2026. This monumental investment not only places Hawai‘i at the forefront of broadband innovation but also ensures access to state-of-the-art fiber connectivity for homes and businesses statewide, including underserved rural communities.
