Although EBS licensees and the wireless broadband industry have accomplished a lot over the past few years, there are still big issues facing every EBS licensee.
Hear about these issues -- at the 30,000 foot blue sky level -- from the experts who will try to help you plan for what's coming -- the roll out of wireless broadband services across the country, white space auctions for currently unlicensed spectrum, and the deadline for showing substantial performance over each EBS station.
