"A cursory glance of the FCC's 16th Annual Mobile Wireless Competition Report, released late last night, reveals a wealth of data that clearly highlights the innovation, investment and competition that epitomizes the U.S. mobile wireless ecosystem. We believe that a clear-eyed assessment of the level of investment, network deployment, world-leading operating systems, devices, applications and services conclusively demonstrates the value and benefits that consumers and businesses receive from the U.S. wireless industry. In this respect, we regret the Commission missed an opportunity, again, to make a finding about the robust level of competition that consumers enjoy in the U.S. We look forward to a more thorough review of this report, which we believe will show the many innovative ways – from connected health to mobile education to intelligent transportation – that the wireless ecosystem continues to work for Americans and the U.S. economy."
