In this episode of Closing the Digital Divide, I chat with David Zumwalt, CEO and President of the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA), to explore the evolving role of wireless technologies in bridging the broadband gap. Zumwalt discusses the impact of the NTIA’s updated BEAD guidance, the strengths of fixed wireless in reaching underserved communities, and how WISPs are leveraging innovation, local knowledge, and private investment to accelerate deployment. The conversation highlights key policy considerations, spectrum access, and the critical need for technology-neutral solutions to ensure broadband equity across America.
