Matsui Applauds FCC Public Auction Decision on C-Band Spectrum

Statement

"Today's decision is a victory for open and transparent government," said Congresswoman Matsui. "In the race to 5G, the stakes are high, and we need to win. The way we do that is by quickly and efficiently freeing up mid-band spectrum -- making our economy and communications systems more competitive. I have repeatedly called on the FCC to pursue a public auction with input, and I applaud Chairman Pai for adopting my commonsense approach. This is a critically important first step to kickstarting a 5G revolution in the United States, and I look forward to working with the FCC and my colleagues in Congress to ensure that C-Band spectrum is allocated in a fair and efficient manner."
