Letter to NTIA in Support of Balanced Spectrum Policy

Washington D.C., 17 April 2023

As NTIA works to develop a National Spectrum Strategy, the undersigned 15 public interest organizations and industry leaders urge NTIA to expand access to spectrum for commercial use through a balanced variety of approaches that will promote competition and innovation. While our organizations represent a wide variety of perspectives, we all recognize the value of models supporting shared use, either through unlicensed use or licensed use that is dynamically shared on a priority basis. While exclusive-licensing plays a role in a balanced spectrum policy, an over-reliance on it serves the deployment decisions and business models of a small group of large, nationwide carriers. The innovation our country needs to make the most of spectrum moving forward will also require shared licensing and unlicensed spectrum. Unlicensed spectrum offers low barriers to entry for innovators, enables easy access for consumers and supports the Wi-Fi connections over which most internet data travels. Shared-licensed spectrum supports competitive wireless networks and other innovative and diverse uses, while also allowing multiple types of users to coexist.
