Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½'s Open Technology Institute sent a in tandem with experts from several organizations—the Hoover Institution, Ring Advocacy LLC, Marcus Spectrum Solutions, LLC, Webb Search Ltd., Oku Solutions, LLC, Public Knowledge, and Aalborg University—calling on members of Congress to balance spectrum efficiency needs with demands from other federal agencies. The letter followed the debate over the C-Band spectrum's effects on aviation at the turn of the year. The introduction to the letter is available below:

Thank you for your important attention to the conflict between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on the rollout of 5G in the C-band (3.7-3.98 GHz). As leaders of U.S. policy for some of America’s most important and innovative industries, your efforts to maximize aviation safety and to speed the rollout of 5G are greatly appreciated. Ensuring the continued evolution and update of wireless networks is essential to broadband competition, economic development, and jobs. Simultaneously, Americans expect that not only is it safe to fly, but that aviation actors invest in the technology and processes to improve safety. As such, Americans rely on the relevant regulators, the FCC and the FAA, to achieve these policy goals.
