"CTIA commends the FCC for taking the first step towards bringing 90 MHz of Mobile Satellite Spectrum to market for wireless broadband services. We are pleased the Commission and the Obama Administration have joined us in recognizing the critical importance of harnessing our spectrum resources to benefit the nation's wireless consumers. The adoption of today's NPRM advances the effort to make the spectrum promises of the National Broadband Plan a reality. CTIA looks forward to continuing to work with the Commission to find ways to bring this underutilized, and at times unutilized, spectrum quickly to market."
