Free State Foundation President Randolph May issued the following statement regarding Chairman Pai's proposed order granting, with conditions, Ligado Networks' applications to use L-Band spectrum:
Above all else, I'm pleased that Chairman Pai has circulated a draft order. For several years now, I've advocated that the FCC move ahead to make a decision on Ligado's long-pending applications. I've never professed to render any definitive opinion on the finer points of the various interference claims involved in this years-long controversy. But I know that Ligado has gone to great lengths to modify its plans to address claimed interference concerns. And have confidence in the technical expertise of FCC's engineering staff and the commissioners' willingness to take that expertise into account. So I hope the Commission now acts promptly. This is another FCC action that can advance the U.S. position with regard to 5G deployment.
