Press Release

Congressman Brett Guthrie (R-KY) and Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA) today sent a letter, along with over a dozen members of the Energy and Commerce Committee, to the heads of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), urging the agencies to take action to unlock additional spectrum for mobile broadband.

"If we want the United States to continue to lead the world in mobile, we need to act now to put more spectrum in the pipeline," said Congresswoman Matsui. "The 1675-1680 MHz spectrum band is a prime example of an opportunity that can benefit our American wireless economy while allowing federal agencies to continue their critical missions. This development would be an important piece of our broader spectrum agenda and I look forward to working with the Administration and my colleagues in Congress to encourage greater efficiencies in federal spectrum."
