Today, ITS America and AASHTO filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the FCC’s bipartisan decision to update its rules for the 5.9 GHz band. The FCC’s action ensures much-needed Wi‑Fi capacity for consumers while also promoting the development of new connected car technologies. The FCC acted well within its authority to oversee US airwaves, spent years thoroughly vetting and analyzing its rules and ultimately reached a unanimous, win-win decision that helps close the digital divide and ensure road safety. Both auto safety technology and broadband have progressed greatly since this spectrum was gifted to the auto industry twenty years ago – without significant development – and the FCC’s rules reflect today’s needs.
