Sens. Urged To Invest In Variety Of Broadband Technologies
Law360 (June 22, 2021, 7:04 PM EDT) Lawmakers can boost the reliability of the nation s broadband networks by spreading infrastructure funding among a variety of technologies such as fixed wireless and mobile broadband rather than limiting it solely to fiber, members of a Senate Commerce subcommittee heard Tuesday.
During a hearing titled Building Resilient Networks, Wireless Infrastructure Association President Jonathan Adelstein testified that a singular focus on fiber broadband networks that can deliver symmetrical speeds of 100 megabits per second would prioritize a sometimes cumbersome broadband delivery method that can take longer to restore in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
