In hopes that Congress will resolve ACP funding this month, Nextlink is extending all current ACP customer discounts in full for the month of May and will help ease the transition in the coming months if the program is not renewed.
Thank you @goldmancraig for stopping by @nxlink headquarters yesterday to chat about #internet and #smallbusiness issues. Grateful for your work in the #txlege to bring an additional $1.5 billion to #Texas #ruralbroadband!
One big success story of #CBRS is rural coverage, not urban capacity. For example, this is @nxlink's CBRS map as of EOY 2022. And we've lit far more since then.
New drive tests provide real-world evidence that CBRS shared spectrum is sparsely deployed, using only a fraction of available bandwidth, in sharp contrast to C-Band spectrum.
See our new blog post for the details:

Best line: "There were some citeable issues with that situation."

NBC News reports that ALL FLIGHTS ARE GROUNDED NATIONWIDE right now due to computer issue.
This is all we have right now and waiting on more .. this coming from NBC News.
Construction of the current #Indiana Statehouse was budgeted at $2 million dollars and was completed in 1888 for $1.8 million: a testament to then-Governor Williams' frugality. Renovated again in the 1990's with beautiful results. Pleasure to get to visit today!
Looking in the wrong place! @nxlink lit up a Connecticut-sized land mass of CBRS in September. Focusing on handful of cities while most of the growth in usage rural/suburban/exurban ignores this and other CBRS builds.
In its report, Recon Analytics cites a CTIA spectrum-usage study conducted in 2021 across a number of big US cities. The study found just a handful of commercial operations in the CBRS band. lightreading.com/regulatoryp…?

CBRS is used extensively by WISPs throughout America, connecting the unserved. The sharing model works, period. In a spectrum-constrained world, we need more sharing, not less.

The @CTIA argues that there is 'low utilization, low market demand, and a dearth of innovative use cases' in the 3.5GHz CBRS spectrum band.
But that claim has sparked furious disagreements. lightreading.com/regulatoryp…? CC @haroldfeld @RogerEntner @MCalabreseNAF @WISPAnews
Key core value at @nxlink: do the right thing. We have dedicated staff helping potential ACP applicants through the process necessary for a successful validation. And the ACP discount is a true discount, not an opportunity to play games with speed/price.
