Washington, D.C.- WifiForward released the following statement today in response to the FCC’s decision to launch rule making on direct-to-device satellite broadband connectivity:

“Wi-Fi is the backbone of connectivity for millions of Americans, and ensuring it can continue to support Americans’ growing data and connectivity demands remains our top priority. The 5 GHz Wi-Fi band is critical to countless consumers, businesses, schools, and hospitals. As the Commission pursues expanding the capability of unlicensed devices through direct-to-device capability, we look forward to working with the FCC and key stakeholders to ensure that the rulemaking promotes a net benefit to consumers by preserving pre-existing Wi-Fi use cases and maintains American Wi-Fi leadership.”
