“We need more 5G spectrum to meet increasing data demand, support new innovation and enable the speeds and capacity necessary to fuel future innovation. More full-powered, exclusive-licensed spectrum is key to both our economic and national security. Letting auction authority lapse sent the wrong signal to the rest of the world. We need to restore it quickly with a defined set of new auctions.”
Meredith Attwell Baker
President & CEO, CTIA
“We are increasingly dependent on wireless networks […] We need to do more to make sure that they’re reliable and secure. And the truth of it is it’s not just America but our allies — we have to make sure our allies have options for their wireless networks which are secure but frankly also affordable.”
Gina Raimondo
Secretary of Commerce
“To support the next-generation of wireless connectivity, we must work together to free up more spectrum—and especially mid-band airwaves. Because it offers an ideal blend of capacity and coverage, this spectrum is key to delivering on the promise of 5G services and ensuring that it reaches as many people as possible. The bottom line is we need mid-band deployment at scale to foster invention in the new 5G spectrum frontier.”
Jessica Rosenworcel
Chairwoman, FCC
“When in comes to the 5G economy and spectrum blocks for driving the economy, nothing can replace that. We need a sufficient supply of large high-power spectrum blocks, and that is a winning strategy.”
Brendan Carr
Commissioner, FCC
“More licensed mid-band spectrum is needed to meet growing wireless network demand. Commercial access to the bands described in our study would help scale 5G, giving more people access to consistent and good internet connectivity needed for things like online schooling, remote work and telemedicine.”
