The USTTI's initial course offerings for 2018 are now available at USTTI.org, and we are accepting applications for our 36th year of tuition-free training. The 2018 curriculum offers course innovations addressing the Internet Domain Name System, Internet of Things and 5G Technology! The additions to the USTTI's 2018 Curriculum will empower USTTI Scholars with the knowledge and skills to expand their country's connectivity and unlock the full potential of modern communications. Importantly, USTTI courses in the areas of spectrum management, communications policy and regulation, cybersecurity, competition policy, satellite communications, broadband deployment and emergency communications have been maintained and expanded. The USTTI's tuition-free curriculum would not be possible without the dedication of leaders and subject matter experts from government, industry and academia in the United States. On an annual basis, these women and men and their organizations generously volunteer their time, expertise and resources for USTTI scholars from every corner of the developing world. The USTTI would especially like to thank our Industry and Government Board Members: AT&T; Comcast Corporation; The Federal Communications Commission (FCC); Facebook; Ericsson; Google; GSMA; ICANN; Intel Corporation; Inmarsat, Intelsat; The Internet Society (ISOC); The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce; Microsoft; The Office of International Communications and Information Policy, U.S. Department of State; QUALCOMM Incorporated; Verizon Communications; and The Walt Disney Company whose continued support will allow the USTTI to offer close to 70 tuition-free courses in 2018.
