AT&T is Leading the U.S. and the World on Mobile 5G

I had the opportunity to attend the White House 5G Summit. The event was focused on discussing issues such as 5G deployment, spectrum and standards that will enable the US to win the race on 5G.

The US government can implement policies to ensure that US leads on 5G by continuing to eliminate barriers to wireless deployment and making more spectrum available for commercial use. And the week of Sept 24, the Federal Communications Commission did just that by adopting a sensible framework for permitting and fees. On spectrum, the FCC has planned a series of auctions of high-band spectrum. It is critical that those auctions take place in a timely manner. It is equally important that additional mid-band spectrum be brought to market.  We look forward to continuing to work with federal, state and local governments to make the promise of 5G a reality for every American.
