Today in a Senate hearing, experts highlighted the critical need for more spectrum allocation in the U.S. to maintain leadership in wireless technology. Concerns were raised about a licensed spectrum shortage threatening defense systems and wireless connectivity. The lack of FCC auctions and coordination was noted as hindering U.S. wireless competitiveness against foreign rivals, especially China. Witnesses emphasized the importance of Congress renewing spectrum auction authority to support U.S. wireless leadership and national security.
A common theme among witnesses at today's @commercedems @SenateCommerce hearing: maintaining U.S. leadership in wireless requires Congress to renew #spectrum auction authority
Bravo @HudsonInstitute Furtchtgott Roth @SenateCommerce US wireless leadership challenged by foreign competitors, paralyzed by domestic policy. No FCC auctions, spectrum or branch coordination. #china speeds ahead. US consumers and military left behind. https://t.co/7OUw0l9iHI
As Senate Commerce takes up spectrum today, it’s important to remember that America’s mid-band allocations are out of balance. To lead in #5G and secure America’s global economic competitiveness, we need more mid-band spectrum. More from @accenture: https://t.co/QhXxen4ix6 https://t.co/kFOgnumKC8
