Chairman Pai's Announcement Regarding the 5.9 GHz Band

The following statement may be attributed to Free State Foundation Visiting Fellow Greg Vogt:

Chairman Pai's announcement today that he would ask the Commission to launch a reorganization of the 5.9 GHz band to accommodate unlicensed and automotive safety use is good news. Because this 75 MHz of mid-band spectrum has remained almost fallow for twenty years, a modernized and more flexible use band which provides more spectrum for Wi-Fi and other unlicensed applications will better serve the future of American's communications needs.
