A balanced approach to the introduction of wireless services is not only critical, but necessary for expanding the use in the six gigahertz band.

The Public Record
My bill, the WIN 5G Act, strikes the right balance by aiming to clear at least 300 megahertz of spectrum.
This bill will create a new fund that provides financial incentives to small and rural wireless providers to replace certain equipment of Huawei and ZTE with new equipment that includes secure hardware and software capabilities.
As you know, Agenda Item 1.13 will be considered at WRC-19 to discuss identification of additional millimeter wave bands for International Mobile Telecommunications, or IMT.
CCA thanks Representatives Matsui and Guthrie for introducing this bill and supports its consideration.
I released the WIN 5G Act, to propose a compromise, consensus-based approach to rapidly reallocate the spectrum.
the C-band has been one of the most complex and high-stakes proceedings in front of the Commission and Congress.
More fundamentally, my proposal reflects the three pillars necessary to this reallocation: repurposing the maximum amount of spectrum possible, protecting current users, and ensuring an efficient clearing process.
I remain concerned with the fact that an FCC action taken to allow a portion of the satellite operators to financially benefit from any sale, while another portion with the exact same market rights does not benefit, will result in the need for a settlement.
My draft WIN 5G Act proposes to ensure the spectrum is reallocated rapidly by building capacity within the C-band.
Last month, Congressman Guthrie and I, along with Senators Wicker and Schatz, introduced the SPECTRUM NOW Act.
