CTIA Statement on House Energy & Commerce Budget Reconciliation Text

"On behalf of the wireless industry, I commend House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Guthrie, Committee members, and the White House for their leadership in including reauthorization of FCC spectrum auction authority with a ​pipeline of 600 megahertz of spectrum for full-power, licensed commercial use in the House Energy & Commerce Budget Reconciliation text. This concrete pipeline, paired with clear deadlines, is critical to meeting consumer demand for mobile connectivity, promoting U.S. economic competitiveness, and protecting national security. We urge Congress to advance this legislation quickly so that America's wireless providers can put these airwaves to work-creating jobs, growing our economy, fostering competition and innovation across industries, and restoring America's global leadership in wireless."
