Discover a world where the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program isn't a setback, but a catalyst for innovation in wireless service. I navigate the turbulent currents of the wireless industry, from Qualcomm's latest offerings to the game-changing tech from Tarana Wireless that's set to revolutionize connectivity. As cities miss out on critical infrastructure investments, I shed light on the untapped potential of private LTE, 5G, and breakthrough solutions from Cambium Networks to close the digital divide. Plus, we'll examine how community networks could tailor local services without sole dependence on fiber.

The industry's landscape shifts as we ponder Airspan Networks' Chapter 11 filing, yet I provide reassurance that their continued operations offer a lifeline to many. We'll dissect Qualcomm's jaw-dropping advancements in IoT and their new micro-power Wi-Fi chip, exploring how this giant leap in power efficiency could reshape our wireless landscape. I'm also prepping you for the possibility of a spectrum revolution as the DoD and NTIA eye the 3.1 to 3.4 GHz band—get ready for what could be our next big connectivity breakthrough.

Finally, as the excitement builds for the Wi-Fi Now Wi-Fi World Congress, I share an exclusive inside scoop on what awaits in Sarasota, Florida, with industry powerhouses like Shisar Gupta and Dan Klimke. We'll dissect FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel's bold stance against universal service fees and its ripple effects on the USF fund and broadband's future pricing. Not to be missed is the emerging phenomenon of Network as a Service (NaaS), particularly its implications for Campus NaaS—expect insights on this burgeoning trend that promises unparalleled service levels.
