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 joined 20 other organizations, together representing the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, in sending a letter to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai urging him to maintain small license areas with short terms and competitive renewal and to instate stronger buildout requirements in the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS).

The event is hosted in partnership with the State of Connecticut Office of Consumer Counsel, and will feature a mayors’ panel, successful models in broadband deployment, E-Rate and funding opportunities, 5G and small cells, as well as an update about the recent municipal gain ruling in Connecticut.
