Tower Talks with Inside Towers

#65 - T-Mobile + Husch Blackwell Discuss the Digital Divide


Listen Later

Rural connectivity remains a hot topic.

Tens of millions of Americans in underserved or unserved live without quality broadband service.

Certainly, the pandemic amplified the need for reliable broadband connections, especially in small towns and rural communities.

Much government funding for rural broadband has gone towards fiber cable solutions deployed over long distances to serve relatively few customers. Yet cost-effective wireless solutions often have limited capabilities.

Is 5G a viable alternative to fiber for reliable broadband connections? What are the infrastructure challenges for deploying 5G in these markets? And what are the related process challenges for acquiring sites, obtaining municipal approvals, and building the sites?

John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor discusses these important rural connectivity challenges with Edwige Robinson, T-Mobile Senior Vice President, Central Region, Network Engineering & Operations, and Rodney Carter and Michael Long, Attorneys and Team leaders in the Telecom Law Practice at Husch Blackwell.
