"Here it is: The 13 executives the FierceWireless editorial team thinks are on the rise in wireless in 2018. These are the executives who have ascended into the spotlight, who are working to make significant contributions to the industry and who may well make a meaningful impact in their chosen space."

New open Internet transparency obligations go into effect on June 11, and the new rules require more detailed disclosures to consumers than what has been required since 2015. It is critical that broadband providers understand the rules and how they can comply, and avoid FCC and FTC enforcement action. WISPA President Claude Aiken will host Steve Coran, WISPA's Washington Counsel for this live 1-hour webinar where they'll discuss what WISPs need to do to comply with the new rules.

It’s time for members to elect the leaders that will help chart WISPA’s course over the coming years.

WISPA President Claude Aiken will be joining Dennis Burgess to talk about what's going on at WISPA on the ISP Radio show at 11 am Central today (Wednesday).

For the 8th year, WISPA is bringing together Internet Service Providers, industry experts and leading suppliers for #WISPAPALOOZA2018 in Las Vegas.

In observance of Memorial Day, WISPA office will be closed on Monday, May 28th, 2018. We will resume normal business hours Tuesday, May 29th at 8:30 am (EST).
