Representatives
for CTIA, the Wireless Infrastructure Association, Cisco, and New
America's Open Technology Institute will testify at a December 5 Senate
Commerce telecom subcommittee hearing on the implementation of MOBILE
NOW, the spectrum law that Chairman John Thune (R-SD) ushered through
last Congress. The hearing will examine the implementation of several
mandates required by the Making Opportunities for Broadband Investment
and Limiting Excessive and Needless Obstacles to Wireless Act (MOBILE
NOW).
Representing WIA will be President/CEO Jonathan Adelstein and testifying
for CTIA will be Scott Bergmann, Senior Vice President, Regulatory
Affairs. Sioux Falls, SD Mayor Paul TenHaken is also slated to speak.
The measure bundled several proposals aimed at speeding 5G deployment,
including opening up more wireless spectrum for commercial use and
accelerating government sign-off for infrastructure. The panel says
witnesses are expected to discuss the law's mandates as well as its
"spectrum provisions and the streamlining of broadband infrastructure on
federal lands."
