STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY 
ON NTIA’S ANNOUNCEMENT OF 3.45 TO 3.55 GHZ FEASIBILITY STUDY   
WASHINGTON, February 26, 2018. – “I've been clear that we can and must reallocate 
a good portion of 3.1 to 3.55 gigahertz for commercial wireless purposes.  Today's 
announcement by NTIA to conduct a detailed feasibility study that could lead to the 
relinquishment of 100 megahertz (3.45 to 3.55 GHz) – located right next to the CBRS 
band – for this purpose is the first step to creating a key building block for a mid-band 
5G spectrum play.”
