On June 20, FCC Chairman Wheeler
said the FCC intends to act to make “ample spectrum available” through a new Spectrum Frontiers proposal
even before 5G standards are passed.
Wheeler said: “…we do not believe we should spend the next couple of years studying what 5G should be, how it should operate, and how to allocate spectrum…we will make ample spectrum available and then rely on a private sector-led process for producing technical standards best suited for those frequencies and use cases…it’s a simple formula: Lead the world in spectrum availability, encourage and protect innovation-driving competition, and stay out of the way of technological development.”
He said his plan would expand licensed blocks to at least 200 MHz in the higher bands and the creation of a “massive 14 GHz unlicensed band” with ample spectrum for satellite and mobile industries.
