Looking forward to discussing market opportunities in IoT, which dovetails into Althea 's innovative machine-to-machine micro-tx module nicely. The future is a machine economy and the legacy ways of billing won't translate. I often say, "You can't net30 a smart trash can!" :) #5G #KeyLTE #IoT

Laurent Therivel, CEO of UScellular, shared the three key federal actions he thinks are needed to improve U.S. telecommunications: 1. Expand Licensed Spectrum: Increase the availability of licensed, full-power spectrum and restore the FCC's authority to auction this resource to enhance VoIP service reliability. 2. Unified Innovation Strategy: Implement a government-wide approach to innovation to streamline and maximize technological advancements. 3. Strategic Infrastructure Funding: Better align the billions allocated for infrastructure to efficiently bridge the digital divide, enhancing telecommunications and VoIP services across the nation.

Why does it appear that things come in 3's? In my past two posts, Comcast is profiting in wireless, TMO was offering 'white label wireless' services, and now TMO is pursuing an investment in Metronet to expand into broadband and fixed wireless. Seems like the grass is always greener on the other side! But, truthfully, the big dogs need to expand outside their normal comfort markets. They see saturation coming in what they currently do, and problems with their current business models. We see it now with change-ups in inbuilding coverage investments (i.e., very few and very selective). See below:
