Statement of NCTA Regarding Introduction of the Wi-Fi Innovation Act

"We congratulate Senators Rubio and Booker on the introduction of Wi-Fi Innovation Act which would secure more unlicensed spectrum in the 5 Ghz band. With more and more Wi-Fi-enabled devices coming to market everyday, consumers will continue to need additional spectrum to use these tools. This bipartisan legislation provides a clear path forward for properly allocating a finite and increasingly necessary public resource and continues to establish the U.S. as a global leader in public Wi-Fi availability, speed, and scale."
