The USTTI’s 2019 tuition-free course offerings are now available at USTTI.org, and we are accepting applications for our 37th year of tuition-free training. The 2019 curriculum offers course innovations addressing Emerging Technologies, 5G and Emergency Communications! Importantly, USTTI courses in the areas of spectrum management, communications policy and regulation, cybersecurity, competition policy, satellite communications and broadband deployment 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; OneWeb; 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 2019.
