Oct 10 2024
Womble Bond Dickinson Partner Carri Bennet was a guest on the latest episode of CoBank’s All Day Digital podcast. Bennet discussed “Delayed Rip and Replace Funding Shrinks Rural Wireless Coverage.”
About six years ago, rural operators were told to rip out and replace non-compliant, Chinese-made equipment from communication networks. However, the mandate is underfunded, operators need assistance and solutions are stalled in Congress. In this episode of All Day Digital, Bennet, a telecom policy insider and Rural Wireless Association General Counsel, shared what’s happening behind the scenes in Washington.
