Repurposing C-band spectrum for mobile broadband deployment will help America win the race to 5G, as other countries study repurposing their own mid-band spectrum for internet use. A number of groups, including the C-Band Alliance (CBA), claim that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should allow for a “private-sale” of this critical segment of spectrum, instead […]
Taxpayers Protection Alliance partnered with thirteen additional free-market groups to send a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding their efforts to free up the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band (mid-band, or “C-band”) for internet services. Repurposing C-band spectrum for mobile broadband deployment will help America win the race to 5G, as other countries study repurposing their own mid-band spectrum for internet use. A number of groups, including the C-band Alliance (CBA), claim that the FCC should allow for a “private-sale” of this critical segment of spectrum, instead of having the FCC repurpose the spectrum to help close the digital divide.
As the debate over the C-Band Alliance’s (CBA) intention to hoodwink the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in to allowing a group of foreign operated satellite companies to profit up to $60 billionon a crucial U.S. asset heats up, it’s important to remember one key fact: The foreign companies making up the C-Band Alliance do not own the spectrum, […]
There is growing opposition to the C-Band Alliance’s (CBA) devious plan to hoodwink the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in to allowing foreign operated satellite companies to re-sell crucial mid-band (“c-band”) spectrum on the secondary market for 5G deployment. Coming on the heels of a coalition lettersigned by over one dozen taxpayers, consumer, free market and small […]
The C-Band Alliance (CBA), a coalition of foreign operated satellite companies, is lobbying the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in hopes of convincing them to grant the authority to re-sell on the secondary market a crucial U.S. asset, mid-band (“c-band”) spectrum, for 5G deployment. While this may sound good on paper, this group of foreign actors […]
Today, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) applauded Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) for his support of a public auction for C-band spectrum, which would provide transparency to taxpayers and prevent U.S.-owned spectrum from being sold by foreign companies in countries like Luxembourg. Sen. Kennedy strongly advocated that the Federal Communications Commission pursue policies that put […]
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai was recently asked about C-Band spectrum at the America’s Communications Association summit. Here is the relevant extract (from the 14:35 mark): Moderator: Let me ask you about another important issue that we have been advocating. And that’s the c-band proceedings. Certainly its attracted lots of attention. Chairman Pai: So I hear. […]
A coalition of foreign satellite companies hopes to convince the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to free up spectrum for 5G through private sales. But, that plan would put strategic American taxpayer assets in the hands of overseas businesses and slow the deployment of 5G wireless. The FCC is in the midst of freeing up as […]
