With recent FCC activity surrounding bulk billing arrangements for internet service in apartments, condos, public housing, and other multi-tenant buildings, this panel will enlighten the audience on how the MDU industry actually works in relation to bulk billing programs. Learn how creating a bundled, bulk solution allows providers to offer broadband services that are better, faster, cheaper, and more reliable than a resident could secure separately on their own, and understand how financing happens for infrastructure installation. Our panel will cover the many benefits to bulk, where the competition happens, and why it is an important part of bridging the digital divide and being able to offer better pricing to residents in addition to ease of delivering Managed Wi-Fi solutions.
