“We applaud Chairman Carr and the FCC for clearing the way to put more licensed spectrum to work for drones and other innovative services. Modernizing outdated rules like these will help unlock the full potential of our wireless networks, fuel investment, and prepare America’s connectivity infrastructure for an AI-driven future. It’s the kind of forward-looking spectrum policy we need to keep the U.S. leading the next generation of wireless innovation.”
