Policy

  • TIA Welcomes NTIA Spectrum Conclusions: TIA supports the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration's report concluding that 95 MHz of prime spectrum can be repurposed for wireless broadband use.
  • TIA Supports Spectrum and Public Safety Network Legislation: Key provisions of the Act will create certainty for the market and will promote new investment in critical wireless network infrastructure, create hundreds of thousands of new American jobs and improve mobile broadband service. It will also help fund construction of a nationwide interoperable public safety broadband network.
