Wi-Fi Threatened: Why Congress Might Be Undermining Our Digital Future - Episode 653 of the Community Broadband Bits Podcast

In this episode of the podcast, Chris is joined by Harold Feld (Public Knowledge) and Michael Calabrese (New America’s Open Technology Institute) to unpack the growing threat to Wi-Fi and shared spectrum like CBRS. 

As Congress debates how to raise revenue through spectrum auctions, a Senate proposal could force the FCC to auction off the very spectrum Wi-Fi 7 needs to thrive—jeopardizing billions in economic value and the connected future we’ve come to depend on. 

They break down what’s at stake, how we got here, and what you can do to help protect this vital public resource.

Rural Southeast Alaskan Tribes Leverage Spectrum for a Pilot Connecting Hard-to-Reach Communities

The Tlingit and Haida Tribes will leverage $15 million in Rescue Plan funding to bring LTE-based 100 Mbps symmetrical wireless connectivity to 10,000 unserved residents in and around the city of Wrangell, located on Wrangell Island in southeast Alaska. The Internet Service Provider in charge of the buildout is the newly-launched, tribally-owned ISP Tidal Networks. The project is a pilot the tribes plan to expand to all residents of the island, and eventually to other communities in the region.  

The pilot is made possible by Tlingit and Haida’s successful participation in the FCC’s Rural Tribal Priority Window, which allowed tribes to claim space on the 2.5 gigahertz spectrum band. Back in 2019, Tlingit and Haida partnered with southeast Alaska village tribes to gain access to the spectrum, and worked throughout 2021 to “discuss [Tlingit and Haida’s] broadband initiative and opportunities to partner for the broadband project.”
