Build America is Critical to the AI Race

There’s a reason the Wireless Infrastructure Association’s tagline is “Enabling Connectivity Everywhere”—connectivity is at the center of America’s way of life. It is critical to the nation’s economic growth and global leadership on innovation, especially as the AI race takes center stage. Wireless infrastructure is essential to the future of AI, with wireless networks serving as the nerve endings that simultaneously fuel, consume, and integrate the data that powers AI. There is no data—or AI—without the connectivity infrastructure that forms the backbone of America’s networks. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has long been a champion of the importance of wireless infrastructure in enabling connectivity everywhere. Chairman Carr just kicked off a Build America Agenda to “make it easier for America’s telecom crews and tower techs to build out new networks and modern infrastructure.” In doing so, Chairman Carr’s goal is “unleashing investment and innovation” and “increasing connectivity for Americans in communities across the country.” Count us in.
