Broadband connectivity has brought multiple significant benefits to rural America, from “911” emergency services access and remote learning to support for new local businesses. But the “rip and replace” bill recently signed by the President puts these benefits – and many of the operators of the networks that deliver them – at risk. And it does nothing to improve network or national security.

 

Join us April 22, for an informative, spirited discussion of “The Truth About ‘Rip and Replace.’” Panelists will include Huawei Technologies USA Senior Vice President, Public Affairs Joy Tan, Vice President, Congressional, State and Local Government Affairs Donald J. Morrissey, and Jim Kail, President & CEO at Laurel Highland Total Communications.

 

They’ll explain what the new legislation promises, what it actually will and will not do, the real risks involved, and how rural carriers and their customers can best prepare themselves. Questions will be encouraged.
