SmartBrief and WISPA Launch Publication for Wireless Internet Service Providers


Today, November 19, 2019, SmartBrief starts a new publication in partnership with the Wireless Internet Services Providers Association (WISPA (News - Alert)).

WISPA's mission is to build an environment where communities grow through robust 21st century connectivity and competition. The organization strives to promote the development, advancement and unification of the fixed wireless internet service provider industry.

WISPA works to build a bipartisan congressional solution to internet openness that ensures consumer protection, anti-discrimination, robust competition and healthy broadband deployent to serve all Americans, no matter where they live.



WISPA SmartBrief will serve as a resource to further the organization's goals to:

  • Educate policymakers about the effect of legislation and regulations on fixed wireless broadband providers and rural America.
  • Hold members to high standards of ethical conduct, customer service and technical excellence.
  • Ensure members are up to date on the latest developments in fixed wireless business, policy and industry trends.
  • Provide opportunities for WISPs to interact, learn from and help each other.

"We are pleased to partner with SmartBrief to share the latest news in hardware, software, innovative WISP services and important policy updates with WISPA members and the industry at large," said Claude Aiken, president and CEO of WISPA.
