WCAI Applauds President-elect Obama

It was heartening to hear President-elect Barack Obama address the nation on Dec 6 and express his commitment to broadband deployment. “Here, in the country that invented the internet, every child should have the chance to get online, and they’ll get that chance when I’m President – because that’s how we’ll strengthen America’s competitiveness in the world,” said President-elect Obama. At WCAI, we believe wireless must be part of that commitment, and we look forward to working with the new Administration and incoming Congress on these issues in the coming year.
