In response to the FCC’s 600 MHz Incentive Auction Commencement of Operations Report and Order, I said:
“We appreciate the Commission’s work to develop a flexible framework for accessing repurposed 600 MHz spectrum in a way that will allow wireless providers to commence operations in the spectrum they have purchased in a timely manner, while affording secondary users ample time to transition out of the band. We are particularly pleased that the Commission recognized that wireless licenses will need access to spectrum to perform essential market testing. This approach is critical to making efficient network deployment plans and enabling providers to rapidly deploy advanced wireless broadband services to benefit American consumers.”
