On Memorial Day, we remember the service members who gave everything for our country.

Their sacrifice is a powerful reminder of why connection matters—keeping families, communities, and our nation strong.

We honor them today and always.

The American Wireless Builders Coalition's congratulates FCC Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC and the @FCC on approval of the EchoStar/DISH license transfers. The decision was both bold and right and sends a clear signal that meeting network buildout obligations and honoring commitments to partners that help achieve those milestones matter. This is what good governance looks like.

Today the @FCC put Build America into action.

This decision ensures critical wireless spectrum is put to its highest use, while supporting the infrastructure providers that make connectivity possible. Thank you to Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC and FCC for strengthening America’s security and competitiveness.

Thanks to President Trump, America is leading the world again. 🇺🇸

Today, the @FCC approved two major transactions that mean faster Internet, stronger competition, & global leadership in next-gen Internet from space (D2D).

These FCC approvals unlock big wins for consumers!

What does it take to build a truly smart building? Besides actually connecting the systems to enable AI adoption, developers now prioritize the experience for tenants, guests, and employees — not just lessees. @ConnectX_USA @roushyates @NextivityInc @ADRFTECH Chanan Communications, & Tillman Digital Cities

@CrownCastle : Tower companies have had to figure out how to deliver more with less…The US tower market is the best across the globe.

[WIA @WIAorg]

@Vertical_Bridge With the right permitting measures in place, we can take the build process from 15 months and reduce it by 4.

[WIA @WIAorg]

@AmericanTowerUS : The data demand will double by 2030 — not including AI.

[WIA @WIAorg]

Diamond Communications: Demand on the networks has never been greater.

[WIA @WIAorg]

@DBRG_Group says industry capital is going toward the significant demand for edge and collocation. Plus, compute of the tower.
