“We are grateful for the efforts of Chairman Thune and others to develop consensus principles that urge the FCC to establish an open and transparent testing plan for spectrum sharing in the upper 5 GHz band. Such action is necessary to support both the skyrocketing growth of unlicensed technologies like Wi-Fi and the legitimate safety-related needs of the auto industry. With this call for greater collaboration and a renewed commitment to test and fairly consider all legitimate proposals expeditiously, we are confident that we can forge the win-win solutions needed to put these frequencies to their best use for the American people.”
{Background: The downloadable letter regarding a sharing proposal for 5.9 GHz spectrum band was sent to the Department of Transportation, Department of Commerce and Federal Communications Commission, and was signed by the Alliance Of Automobile Manufacturers, Association Of Global Automakers, Intelsat, National Cable & Telecommunications Association, Qualcomm and SES.}
