The following statement can be attributed to WifiForward:

As WifiForward noted in our comments to NTIA for the National Spectrum Strategy, a balanced, comprehensive spectrum policy includes CBRS-like models of shared licensing to promote innovation and competition that enable commercial license holders and government functions to coexist instead of forcing government users to relocate to entirely different spectrum bands. 

CBRS has been widely successful allowing new entrants to establish their own networks and services. Health care, manufacturing, education and other industries have all been beneficiaries of this innovative new framework for licensing spectrum that has ultimately led to increased broadband access and connectivity. NTIA’s Technical Report illustrates how CBRS deployments have steadily increased across the country in just a few years.

WifiForward and its members look forward to working with NTIA as they develop the National Spectrum Strategy, including engaging with NTIA on CBRS prior to the May 31st deadline for comment.
