We share stories on the latest technologies and smart city development from industry professionals and legal thought leaders. What makes a community ‘smart’? Why is everyone obsessed with data? How do municipalities integrate 5G infrastructure into their urban design, and how do carriers ensure that local concerns are addressed?
