For Immediate Release
COMMISSIONER CLYBURN STATEMENT 
ON 5G DEPLOYMENT
  -- 
WASHINGTON, January 29, 2018 – “The United States’ leadership in the deployment of 5G is 
critical and must be done right. Localities have a central role to play; the technical expertise 
possessed by industry should be utilized; and cybersecurity must be a core consideration. A 
network built by the federal government, I fear, does not leverage the best approach needed for 
our nation to win the 5G race.”
