  "textContent": "June 11, 2025 – Kauai is now the third Hawaiian island to be fully fiber enabled, _Hawaiian Telcom_ said Tuesday. This furthers the state’s goal of becoming the first fully fiber state by the end of 2026.\n\nHawaiian Telcom announced its plan _in January_ in partnership with state and federal governments. The $1.7 billion investment aims to connect every Hawaiian, improving the lives of rural community members and “leveling the playing field,” according to Hawaiian Telcom President **Su Shin**.\n\n“We’re on a mission. It‘s thrilling to be in this race, but our team is driven by the fact that we are helping to transform the lives of Hawaii families. Every mile of fiber we deploy means more possibilities for everyone in Hawaii,” said **Jason Thune** , Hawaiian Telcom’s vice president of fiber strategy and deployment.\n\nWith Kauai, Lanai and Molokai fully fiber enabled (about 65% of the state, according to Thune), the internet service provider says they are “showing remarkable progress” to make good on their promise.\n\nThey maintain their 2026 timeline, saying Maui will be fully fiber enabled by the end of this year, and the islands of Hawaii and Oahu will be completely connected by the end of 2026.",
