Cable Industry Pushes Congress to Protect Wi-Fi and Shared Spectrum

Michael Calabrese, director of New America's Wireless Future, was quoted in a Broadband Breakfast article about concerns regarding language in the Senate version of the sweeping budget reconciliation bill that would mandate an auction of 800 megahertz of spectrum, which is likely to adversely impact public access to Wi-Fi and shared spectrum.

“A 800 megahertz mandate will pressure the FCC to consider reallocating unlicensed and shared spectrum vital to next generation Wi-Fi and to enterprise IoT, harming our economy that is increasingly dependent on wireless data indoors as an input for everything."
