In the latest episode of The Broadband Bunch, we are joined today by Mr. Claude Aiken, the President and CEO at WISPA, the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association, headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Claude:
Thanks again for having me.
I'm excited to be here and excited to talk about what WISPA and WISPs are doing here in the U.S.
Craig:
And when we talk about what is going on in the world of WISPA.
And then I learned that WISPA was looking for permanent leadership for the organization and given what I knew of WISPs and just the raw potential therefore for what they could do to really make a difference in the broadband market here in the U.S. I just had to throw my hat in the ring and I was lucky enough that the board decided to hire me.
And I have heard stories from some of the service providers in WISPA organization where they said there are subscribers that sometimes are underserved or are unserved in the outskirts of their communities or counties.
So WISPA is very excited about participating in that band from life, from our members but it's also kind of complicated, so trying to figure out the best way to educate folks on the business case for it either just using it in the first place or even more so participating in the spectrum auction that's coming down the pike in June.
Claude:
That's something that we've been very focused on.
