Statement of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association Regarding the House Energy & Commerce Committee Markup

"We appreciate the committee's efforts to restore long-lapsed auction authority and preserve the continued availability of the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi. However, we remain concerned both by the arbitrary nature of its spectrum targets and an overly narrow focus on exclusive licensing models. Without greater attention and support for licensing through shared spectrum models and the continued expansion of Wi-Fi, we risk failing in our efforts to 'expand the pie' of available commercial frequencies, promote wireless competition, and maximize value for consumers from use of the public airwaves."
