Charter’s Statement on the FCC’s Vote on the 5.9 GHz NPRM

“Charter applauds Chairman Pai and the FCC for moving forward with an NPRM on 5.9 GHz and appreciates Commissioners O’Rielly and Rosenworcel’s longstanding commitment to opening this band for unlicensed use. By making a portion of this highly-valuable band available for unlicensed use after decades of under-utilization, today’s action sets the stage for innovations like ultra-fast, high capacity, multigigabit WiFi that will power connected classrooms, smart homes and remote healthcare for the benefit of consumers.”
