"The collaborative, bi-partisan work leading up to today's mark-up has produced a bill that addresses many of the concerns CTIA had with the bill at the time of its introduction. While there are areas where CTIA would like to see additional changes, we are hopeful that our remaining concerns can be addressed before enactment. 

"S. 3304 is an important bill and CTIA is committed to working with its sponsors to achieve its enactment this year. We hope to have a framework that will ensure that every American can fully engage with cutting-edge mobile products and services while preserving the flexibility that the U.S. wireless industry needs in order to continue to innovate and lead the world."
