Next Century Cities supports mayors and community leaders across the country as they seek to ensure that everyone has fast, affordable and reliable internet access.

Next Century Cities signed on to a letter that was sent to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) last week to reiterate the importance of retaining small license areas with short terms and competitive renewal for Priority Access Licenses (PALs) in the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS). The letter was sent in response to the FCC’s recent Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

The Capture the Flag, hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory (MAGIC) in Westminster, Maryland, is a biannual ethical hacking cybersecurity competition designed to foster students’ interest in cybersecurity, provide them with a platform to develop new skills, and prepare them for careers in technology through experiential learning. The competition has encouraged real growth in our students, and it can do the same in your community.
