STATEMENT OF NCTA REGARDING SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE PASSAGE OF THE MOBILE NOW ACT

"We appreciate the efforts by members of the Senate Commerce Committee, including the leadership of Senators Thune, Nelson, Schatz, Moran, Booker and Gardner, to address the growing need for more unlicensed spectrum as part of the MOBILE NOW Act. In today's connected age, demand for unlicensed technologies like wi-fi will continue to grow, making it even more important for policymakers to develop long-term plans that will promote economic growth and meet America's future needs for Internet connectivity.”
