Analyst Underwhelmed by CBRS Growth

Recon Analytics’ Roger Entner, the author of an industry report last year questioning the citizens broadband radio services model for sharing (see 2211140062), said Tuesday the numbers in a new NTIA report (see 2305010063) don’t impress him. “The absolute numbers of devices are still small,” Entner emailed: “In 21 months they have added 150,000 devices. [Wireless carriers] added in just a quarter more than 10 times that.” The 121% increase in CBRS devices during that period reflects the overall small numbers involved, he said.
