WifiForward Statement on the Confirmation of Nathan Simington as FCC Commissioner

“WifiForward congratulates Commissioner Simington on his confirmation to serve at the Federal Communications Commission and thanks him for his work already to improve connectivity for all Americans at the Department of Commerce. As we race to lead the world in 5G networks, applications and services, Mr. Simington and his colleagues will be responsible for making the most efficient use of our airwaves and capitalizing on American strengths. Most Americans will experience 5G at home, in businesses and at the enterprise level through Wi-Fi, enabled by spectrum sharing. We will need smart, innovative spectrum policy that balances licensed and unlicensed spectrum to unleash an American-led 5G ecosystem. We are grateful for Commissioner Mike O’Rielly’s leadership in finding a balance between unlicensed, shared and licensed spectrum arrangements and look forward to working with the Commission to enable our connected future.”
