"CTIA and the wireless industry believe the draft House Republican bill is an important and positive first step to address America's looming spectrum crisis while ensuring we remain the world's leading wireless industry. The facts prove our customers love accessing the mobile Internet anywhere and anytime. That's why our members want to purchase the unused and underutilized spectrum from the U.S. government for billions of dollars and then invest to continue the innovation throughout the wireless ecosystem while creating jobs for millions of Americans. The draft bill provides a pragmatic roadmap to accomplishing this goal. We look forward to working with Chairman Upton and Walden to keep this bill moving forward."
