WIA Launches Connect (X): All Access Policy Summit This Week

ARLINGTON, VA  – The Wireless Infrastructure Association (WIA) kicks off a digital policy series of events Tuesday, Feb. 23 through Thursday, Feb. 25 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. EST each day. The inaugural Connect (X): All Access Policy Summit will feature a distinguished lineup of policymakers from Capitol Hill and the FCC, along with industry experts to discuss the most important challenges, opportunities, and solutions in wireless and broadband.
