New Coalition to Promote Policies that Foster Increased Home Broadband Competition

Spectrum for Broadband Competition officially launched, bringing together a coalition of industry leaders to advocate for spectrum policies that foster increased competition, consumer choice and innovation in the home broadband market. The coalition also launched its first campaign, ‘End the Cableopoly,’ highlighting the cable industry’s attempts to undermine competition from 5G home broadband by starving wireless providers of the spectrum needed to expand access and help close the digital divide. The coalition’s founding members include 5G Americas and CTIA. The cable industry has launched a massive influence campaign designed to block wireless companies from gaining access to new spectrum needed to expand competition and offer service to more Americans. Spectrum for Broadband Competition will focus on countering these efforts by highlighting the cable industry’s anti-competitive behavior and advocating for policies that foster increased home broadband market competition
