Wireless Infrastructure Association (WIA) begins its digital policy series of events Tuesday, February 23 through Thursday, February 25, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. EST each day. The inaugural Connect (X): All Access Policy Summit will feature policymakers from Capitol Hill and the FCC, along with industry experts to discuss the most important challenges, opportunities, and solutions in wireless and broadband. Registration is complimentary.
“The Policy Summit convenes those who work in policy, regulation, law, media, and government relations at a busy time of transition with a new Congress, a new Administration, and a new FCC. WIA carefully designed this event to deliver the latest information on the most crucial topics in telecommunications directly from Capitol Hill, the FCC, the Department of Labor, and businesses,” said WIA President/CEO Jonathan Adelstein. “With connectivity more in-demand than ever, there is no better time to tune in to find the path policymakers are taking to provide communities across the country with reliable broadband and facilitate responsible 5G deployment.”
