Washington, D.C. – WifiForward today submitted comments to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on the Implementation Plan for the National Spectrum Strategy. 

In the comments, WifiForward outlines opportunities for unlicensed spectrum, specifically in the 7/8 GHz bands, and urges NTIA to provide additional spectrum resources to support Wi-Fi, arguing, “While there are many bands on the table for licensed spectrum, there is no ‘Plan B’ for heavily used Wi-Fi services that carry more than 85% of the data in our homes, businesses, and community anchor institutions. Promptly and strategically allocating more unlicensed spectrum is vital to preserving and expanding these Wi-Fi services so they keep up with increased data traffic flows and innovative technologies.”
