Chairman Pai Remarks to the New York State Wireless Association on 5G

A look at the Federal Communications Commission's 5G strategy -- the 5G FAST plan -- which consists of three central components: 1) freeing up much more spectrum for the commercial marketplace, 2) promoting wireless infrastructure deployment, and 3) modernizing our regulations to promote more fiber deployment.

For the US to lead the world in 5G, and to make sure every American has access to next-generation networks, the largest wireless carriers will have to do their part, but it won’t happen without the contributions of the other indispensable players: the small wireless providers, the tower companies, the engineering firms, the property managers, and especially the skilled technicians who get in those bucket trucks and climb those towers to install antennas and maintain communications equipment.
