Washington, D.C. – Today WifiForward released the following statement on the introduction of the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2024:

“We appreciate the agreement that additional spectrum is needed for advanced Wi-Fi, but 125 MHz is inadequate to support the kind of future innovation and growth that will be required by consumers and competitive providers of wireless services. Wi-Fi is the workhorse of wireless connectivity, and we are concerned that this proposal disproportionately serves the interests of one business model within a much broader consumer wireless ecosystem. WifiForward looks forward to working with Senators Cruz and Thune and other stakeholders in Congress, NTIA and the FCC to ensure that consumers and innovators have access to the spectrum needed for faster broadband speeds, and new innovative technologies and use cases in the coming years.”
