Statement of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association Regarding the Presidential Memorandum on Spectrum Policy

“We welcome the Presidential Memorandum calling for the development of a comprehensive, long-term national spectrum strategy. Spectrum has become one of the most critical inputs for the communications and information technologies that are driving America’s economic growth. The services that rely on unlicensed spectrum alone generated more than $525 billion in value for the U.S. economy in 2017. We look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue with the White House, NTIA, and the FCC on the development of a balanced national spectrum policy that will meet the growing need for both licensed and unlicensed spectrum to support next-generation wireless technologies.”
