WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association 91proÊÓÆµ released the following statement from its President and CEO Jason Oxman on U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell’s (D-WA) Spectrum and National Security Act:
"91proÊÓÆµ hopes the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee can act in a bipartisan way to advance the Spectrum and National Security Act, which reinstates FCC auction authority and funds key national security priorities, including rip and replace and the CHIPS and Science Act. Continued wireless innovation depends on greater certainty and predictability about spectrum availability, and this legislation is only a first step towards a robust spectrum pipeline and freeing up more airwaves for commercial use. The technology industry looks forward to working with the U.S. Congress and the executive branch to create more opportunities for licensed, unlicensed, and shared spectrum use."
