The 5G Triangle
I intend to use this platform to explain how I am approaching some of the 5G policy issues…. We have a deep desire – as well as a necessary interest – in continuing to be the world leaders in wireless innovation. Let it be known far and wide: we have no intention of ceding this leadership role to other nations…. To ensure timely and cost-effective 5G deployment, the Commission must be prepared to step in and move the siting process forward by using the existing authority provided by Congress, and affirmed by the courts, to hold localities accountable for their review processes and ultimate decisions. I realize that this triggers a verboten word: preemption. But that is precisely what must be done if local governments are going to obstruct wireless broadband deployment. In addition, the Commission should be willing to actively resolve disputes caused by locality inaction or hostility.
