WTA Files Comments on FCC’s Broadband NOI

On September 10, WTA filed comments with the FCC in response to its Notice of Inquiry on U.S. broadband deployment.

WTA stated that “fixed and mobile services of similar functionality continue to be complements – rather than substitutes — for each other.”  Therefore, the differences between the two services, “as well as the trade-offs that end-users are willing to make regarding service matters such as speed, capacity, file size, screen size and mobility, mean that fixed wireline (and fixed wireless) facilities and services continue to play separate but complementary roles vis- a-vis and mobile wireless facilities and services in today’s public network and are likely to continue to do so during the foreseeable future.”
