CTIA–The Wireless Association® Applauds Introduction of Radio Spectrum Inventory Act

WASHINGTON, DC – CTIA - The Wireless Association® President and CEO Steve Largent issued the following statement today in response to the introduction of the “Radio Spectrum Inventory Act” (S. 649) in the U.S. Senate: 

“I applaud Senator John Kerry (D-MA) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) for their sensible spectrum inventory legislation.  We know that additional spectrum will be needed for commercial providers to meet consumers’ increasing appetite for mobile broadband services, and the Kerry-Snowe bill is a good first step toward identifying where that spectrum will come from.  Given the long lead time that is often involved between identifying spectrum for commercial use and moving it to market, this is a very timely proposal.”
