Experts forecast there will be over 31 billion IoT devices by 2023. To power these devices and the wireless networks that support them, the United States needs to ensure that the spectrum that powers these networks are put to their highest and best use to meet consumer demand and build new markets. Join us for a conversation with a panel of experts to discuss what’s on the horizon for wireless technology and what policies we can employ now to avoid a spectrum crunch.
