“We commend Administrator Roth for recognizing Wi-Fi as a true American success story and an essential driver of our digital economy, extending the value of our gigabit investments and powering innovative wireless services. The health and continued growth of Wi-Fi is a critical component of U.S. leadership in promoting competition, innovation and freedom, both at home and around the world. We join with Administrator Roth in opposing efforts by China and its allies to limit Wi-Fi’s success and growth around the world.
“As the internet’s wireless workhorse, Wi-Fi not only carries between 80% to 90% of all data consumed on mobile devices, but it supports competition and innovation in cable’s mobile offerings that provide significant savings to American families.By supporting Wi-Fi and adopting new licensing approaches that enable spectrum sharing with government users, we can expand available frequencies and ensure America remains the global leader in wireless innovation. As NTIA considers future action to fulfill security needs while identifying new bands to support commercial wireless services, we stand ready to assist in this effort.”
