The Competitive Broadband Provider (CBP)/WISP Survey and Report will be presented by them at WISPAPALOOZA 2016 in Las Vegas. The Carmel Group is a 20-year-old consultancy focused on media and telecom, and is currently completing an extensive Report about the CBP/WISP industry. In 2003, The Carmel Group did a similar project involving a survey and a report for the American Cable Association (ACA), a similar group of mostly rural telecom providers. The Report by The Carmel Group has the support and blessing of WISPA and WCA, as well as the CBP/WISP industry's top manufacturers and operators. The report and survey investigate all aspects of the CBP/WISP industry today, from technical to financial, and from marketing to governmental. It is intended to best support CBPs/WISPs and the manufacturers that supply them, by giving them data and analysis aimed at helping them succeed, especially in the policy and financial areas. As an example, the information from the survey and report will be available to assist operators by giving them statistics and data that are aimed at best telling their stories in their constant efforts to grow and improve their networks vis-a-vis sourcing new funding, The presentation of the Carmel Group's survey and report should be one of the highlights of WISPAPALOOZA 2016, and I hope it gives you even further incentive to attend. Alex Phillips President, WISPA
