GWTCA is taking on new initiatives, including its efforts to assist states and municipalities in adopting effective small cell siting legislation. GWTCA, in its Comments to the FCC in Docket No. 16-421, expressed its concerns that small cell deployments must become more efficient for industry and municipalities, without sacrificing the legitimate interests of cities in ensuring the best quality of life possible for residents. GWTCA’s Annual Meeting will be held at 8 a.m. on March 8, 2018 at the Orlando Convention Center in Room N220E, in conjunction with the International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE).
