While fiber is the undisputed king of broadband technologies, fixed wireless is a valuable tool in the toolbox of connectivity options. However not all wireless is created equal – and there is a stark difference between the use cases for licensed and unlicensed wireless spectrum.

Join us for a lively discussion about the arguments made in the white paper, as well as other technology considerations important for the national discussion on broadband funding investments.
