Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2501, the Spectrum Coordination Act. Spectrum is a finite and high-demand resource that, when allocated correctly, fuels innovation. The industries that use spectrum are rapidly evolving, and Federal coordination of spectrum should evolve with it. That is why I am proud to support the Spectrum Coordination Act, sponsored by my friend, Congressman Bilirakis. While the industries that use spectrum continue to modernize at an accelerating pace, the memorandum of understanding between the NTIA and the FCC on spectrum coordination has not been updated since 2003. This commonsense bill would instruct the NTIA and FCC to update their nearly 20-year-old MOU, ensuring that they work together seamlessly to resolve disputes while ensuring spectrum is allocated as efficiently as possible. I strongly urge all my colleagues to support the Spectrum Coordination Act.”
