Industry Needs More Spectrum for 5G, CTIA Chief Tells Pai

CTIA President Meredith Baker met FCC Chairman Ajit Pai to seek spectrum for 5G, said a filing posted Thursday in docket 18-122. CTIA discussed its reports urging more mid-band spectrum and arguing the U.S. is catching up with China on 5G (see 1904020004). Pai spoke at a CTIA 5G summit Thursday (see 1904040048). “CTIA commended the Commission in particular on its progress toward making spectrum available to support next-generation wireless use, and for its efforts to modernize infrastructure siting policies,” the group said.
