At about the same time the House Communications Subcommittee was beginning a hearing on "Facilitating the 21st Century Wireless Economy," CTIA, which represents wireless companies, released a study on home buying that found that reliable wireless coverage is a must have.
According to a national survey of 2,000 people on what they "must have" in a new home, reliable wireless service ranked number two at 67%, behind only a good hospital and above good schools (65%), a reasonable home price (60%) and a good commute (41%).
"All community leaders should assess their siting rules, update dated regulations, and find opportunities to adopt smart city solutions that will help retain residents and attract tomorrow’s entrepreneurs," said CTIA.
