CTIA files infographic at FCC showing competitiveness of U.S. wireless industry

CTIA filed an infographic at the FCC showing the competitiveness of the U.S. wireless industry in 2013, relative to 2010 when the FCC imposed the first net neutrality rules. It said smartphones were eight times faster in 2013 than in 2010 and data traffic grew 732 percent during the period. “The facts noted on the infographic are clear: the wireless industry is robustly competitive and innovative, and is working for Americans and America’s economy,” CTIA said in the filing in docket 14-28 (http://bit.ly/1sGLJ9x). CTIA opposes a move by the FCC to impose stronger net neutrality requirements on mobile broadband than were imposed in the 2010 rules (see 1409160019).
