Statement of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association Regarding Introduction of the Government Spectrum Valuation Act

“NCTA welcomes the introduction of the bipartisan Government Spectrum Valuation Act by Representatives Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Yvette Clarke today, which would require federal government agencies to account for the value of their spectrum resources. We applaud the bill’s recognition that the value of spectrum resources can be driven by their potential to be used for either licensed or unlicensed technologies, particularly given estimates that unlicensed technologies like Wi-Fi will generate more than $993 billion in value for the U.S. economy per year by 2023.”
