Washington, D.C. – Today, WifiForward released the following statement in response to the delay of the 5.9 GHz item:

“We understand the importance of interagency coordination and the decision to delay the FCC’s issuance of the 5.9 GHz NPRM for one month. After 20 years of being stuck in neutral, an additional month of deliberation will not change the importance of the Commission taking a fresh look at the band. Making additional unlicensed spectrum available, given the enormous economic benefits it will deliver to the country, must remain a central part of US spectrum policy.”
