ARLINGTON, Va. – Please attribute the following statement to WIA President and CEO Patrick Halley.
“Spreading the benefits of 5G everywhere Americans live, work, and travel is critical. A successfully implemented 5G Fund will be an important step towards achieving WIA’s Connectivity Everywhere vision. WIA appreciates the FCC’s recognition that the BEAD program will enable 5G deployment and the importance of the interplay between the two programs. Today’s action is yet another example of why it is so important to remove unnecessary barriers to wireless infrastructure deployment, which we know will only add delay and costs at a time when we have neither a minute nor a dollar to spare.”
The Wireless Infrastructure Association (WIA) represents the businesses that build, develop, own, and operate the nation’s wireless infrastructure. WIA advocates for the widespread, responsible deployment of wireless infrastructure to enable connectivity everywhere.
