CTIA–The Wireless Association® Statement on FCC’s Public Notice on Uses of Spectrum

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, CTIA-The Wireless Association® President and CEO Steve Largent issued the following statement:

"CTIA is pleased the FCC has issued a Public Notice on uses of spectrum to gather the facts and to ensure the U.S. wireless industry remains the world’s most competitive and innovative. We think this is a logical outgrowth of our recent filings suggesting that the Commission should consider reallocation of broadcaster spectrum. We look forward to submitting information which will clearly show that while our industry is the most efficient users of spectrum, we need at least another 800 MHz within six years to meet the increasing consumer demand whether it's for mobile Internet, mHealth, smart grids, or a number of other wireless uses that change the way we live and work."
