Government plays a critical role in determining the conditions under which we operate our businesses. One harmful law or regulation has the potential of destroying years of hard work – or even entire businesses. What will happen if WISPs don’t get fair access to new spectrum bands that are being opened? What will happen if more and more govern- ment regulations designed for massive telecom companies are imposed on our small businesses? That would threaten our livelihoods, which is why our industry association has WISPA PAC – a political action committee to make sure the fixed wireless industry has a seat at the table in Washington, D.C. WISPA PAC: • supports the Members of Congress who defend our business interests in Washington; • gives WISPs opportunities to educate Members of Congress on our industry; and • counters the messages delivered by PACs contrary well-funded interests. WISPA PAC makes political contributions to help us continue to raise the profile of the fixed wire- less industry in Washington and is a critical tool for WISPA’s team in D.C. Our industry’s priorities cannot be accomplished without legislators who understand and hear from WISPs and the entire fixed wireless industry. What happens in Washington, D.C. affects our companies’ bottom lines. Supporting those Members of Congress who support our companies is critical for our industry. There is no substitute for our industry’s involvement in the political process to drive change that will benefit our businesses and to prevent policies from being adopted that will erect new and greater barriers to the present and future success of WISPA’s members. We hope you will take the time to learn more about WISPA PAC and everything it is doing to advance our industry’s interests. Please visit www.wisppac.org to learn more.
