WASHINGTON — CompTIA, the leading trade association for the global technology industry, released the following statement from CompTIA Executive Vice President for Public Advocacy Elizabeth Hyman regarding the White House Memorandum on Spectrum Policy for 5G.
“Future innovations that will transform society, from autonomous vehicles to smart cities to telemedicine, can only become a reality if we have the infrastructure and spectrum necessary to create vibrant, secure and reliable 5G networks. Wireless spectrum -- invisible wireless highways that deliver the data needed to maximize 5G investments -- is the foundational resource that the federal government and private industry must free up. We look forward to a national initiative that focuses on both 5G network development strategies and service deployment.”
