Rosenworcel: FCC Shouldn't Put Off NPRM on 5.9 GHz Band

FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel raised concerns on why the commission has put off an NPRM on the 5.9 GHz automotive safety band for a month, after the Department of Transportation asked for a delay (see 1905150053). “We need more Wi-Fi,” Rosenworcel tweeted Thursday: “We need more Wi-Fi," she typed seven times. "So how about the @FCC speed up its review of the possibilities of more Wi-Fi in the 5.9 GHz band instead of slowing it down?” The band is one of the key ones being looked by the FCC for Wi-Fi and other unlicensed use.
