CTIA Applauds Senate Commerce Committee's Passage of Radio Spectrum Inventory Act

This afternoon, the Senate Commerce Committee approved the Radio Spectrum Inventory Act (S. 649), a bill sponsored by Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). I issued the following statement in response to the Committee's action:  

"I applaud Senators Kerry and Snowe for securing Committee approval of the Radio Spectrum Inventory Act. As the wireless industry continues to invest to meet consumers' increasing demand for broadband services, we appreciate Senator Kerry and Snowe's commitment to work with stakeholders to fashion a bill that identifies where the next allocation of spectrum for commercial use will come from. We look forward to working with Senators Kerry and Snowe, Chairman Rockefeller and their colleagues in the House to enact inventory legislation this year."
