WifiForward Statement on 5.9 GHz Vote

Today, the FCC unanimously voted to make more spectrum available for Wi-Fi, unlocking airwaves that have sat unused for two decades. In that time, Wi-Fi has become absolutely foundational to how we live, work and connect — something families across the country are acutely aware of now, more than ever. Today’s vote will create the first usable 160 MHz wide Wi-Fi channel that operators can bring online quickly to make our networks even better and faster. We commend the Chairman, Commissioners O’Rielly and Rosenworcel and the full Commission for being champions for Wi-Fi and connectivity.
