“As you know, remarkable growth and technological progress represent challenges for our industry,” said TIA President Grant Seiffert. “The millions of apps, mobile data and video, cloud services, even voice, are straining the network and its supply chain. Capacity is not keeping up with demand, which is particularly worrisome for mobile communications with spectrum so scarce. The broadband industry needs to innovate and invest to meet these challenges and monetize new growth opportunities. That’s why we’re here in Dallas, to hear from industry leaders and work on end-to-end solutions.”
