Remarks By FCC Chairman Pai To The Prague 5G Security Conference

We’ve gathered to discuss 5G security, of course, but I think it’s important to say up front that we can’t let these challenges hold back our efforts to unlock the possibilities of 5G itself. Over the past few years, the Federal Communications Commission has aggressively executed what we call our 5G FAST plan. This strategy for promoting 5G innovation and investment features three key parts: freeing up commercial spectrum, promoting the installation of wireless infrastructure, and encouraging fiber deployment.

I look forward to continuing our engagement with all of you on these issues and to advancing the Prague Principles, and now the Prague 5G Repository, around the world as part of that engagement. As so many have mentioned over the course of our discussions here, efforts to secure 5G networks do not stop at our borders. We are in this together.
