Dear WiWA Members,

One of the goals of the Wisconsin Wireless Association is to “raise awareness of the benefits of wireless technology by educating our communities, public officials and policy makers.” To this end, we have established a regulatory committee that meets regularly to discuss the impact of local government regulation on wireless development.  These discussions include, but are not limited to, local jurisdictions that are revising their siting regulations, and those that are utilizing local consultants during the application process.

The regulatory committee would like to assist you in removing barriers to network deployment at the local government level but we need your help to do so.  Specifically, we request that you alert the regulatory committee any time you learn that a local jurisdiction is changing its wireless regulations.  While we strive to monitor the developments statewide, your notifications will ensure that we stay current with local government regulatory changes so that we can intervene on your behalf.  To alert the regulatory committee, please contact us at the link on the Contact Us page at www.wisconsinwireless.org.

We look forward to working with you in the future on these endeavors to create a positive atmosphere for wireless development throughout the state of Wisconsin. 

Thank you,

WiWA Regulatory Committee
