3 The signal starts with U WirelessU: Why? Education is the key enabler: Technology is not limiting deployment Policy generally OK now also Low cost operations (OPEX) requires mostly local Operations staff Locally-based deployment improves the local economy and creates good jobs Broadband in rural requires lower cost service $4/month broadband? Moore’s Law supports this Operations does not require an Engineering Degree but can be learned with these classes and on-the-job training
