» BACK WTA Fall Annual Meeting • September 12-15, 2010 Coeur d’Alene, Idaho The Roman poet knew that there were often opportunities to be had in places where we do not normally look. This adage applies equally to the fickle nature of a trout or the water of a stream as it does to the increasing uncertainty and unpredictability of the rural telecommunications industry. Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of Lake Coeur d’Alene, the Western Telecommunications Alliance will help you make the best cast possible into rippled water. Gather up your fly rod and reel, vest and waders (and/or golf clubs) and join WTA in the sylvan surroundings of northern Idaho for our Fall Meeting where you’ll learn about the changes in the latest technology, public policy and the business environment that effect the industry.
