STATEMENT: WifiForward Statement Following the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, Oversight Hearing on the FCC

Washington, D.C.– WifiForward issued the following statement following the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology hearing, “Oversight of the Federal Communications Commission:” 

“Wi-Fi is a uniquely American success story, and it didn’t happen by accident. The first Trump administration’s decision to unlock the 6 GHz band for unlicensed use was a clear success, with the U.S. leading the world in ubiquitous, fast Wi-Fi. Today, Wi-Fi remains affordable and accessible, helping families and businesses lower costs while powering the next generation of connected technologies. As consumers spend their hard-earned money on the latest devices, they also expect those devices to utilize the fastest speeds available, which is dependent on sufficient unlicensed spectrum. To remain a global leader, power the innovations of tomorrow, and stay steps ahead of our adversaries, the U.S. must continue to prioritize the Wi-Fi on which we all rely.”
