PCIA – The Wireless Infrastructure Association submitted comments earlier this week on the need for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to amend Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act in response to the Eleventh Broadband Progress Notice of Inquiry.  The Association wrote, “PCIA continuously supports efforts to promote and improve efficient broadband deployment.

Consequently, these technologies should be included in the definition of ‘advanced telecommunications capability’ under Section 706.  Mobile broadband has become an inextricable part of how Americans live. It is impossible to ignore consumer reliance on this technology and its pervasiveness throughout the country.  In fact, several reports demonstrate that many consumers are using mobile broadband exclusively.” View the entire document here.
