COMMISSIONER SIMINGTON SPEAKS WITH WIFIFORWARD


WASHINGTON, June 29, 2021—On June 28, 2021, FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington spoke to a WifiForward "Wifi at Work" program moderated by Deborah Collier, Vice-President of Policy and Government Affairs at Citizens Against Government Waste.  The program focused on spectrum policy, including a discussion on licensed and unlicensed spectrum, and sharing.  

Commissioner Simington stated: “Given recent advances in technology, particularly the increasing deployment of IoT devices which are reliant on wireless technology, I think a carefully crafted, coherent spectrum policy is crucial in today’s marketplace. This is why I am such a committed proponent of outreach to federal agencies with a stake in future spectrum allocation decisions.  I believe that better coordination and stronger relationships among federal agencies is crucial to identifying future commercial spectrum to be allocated for licensed, unlicensed or shared use.”
