The Free State Foundation's Fifteenth Anniversary gala lunch was held at the National Press Club on October 15, 2021. A congratulatory note by FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr and the text of prepared remarks by Commissioner Nathan Simington are available on the Commission's website. Additionally, former Commissioner Michael O'Rielly posted his prepared remarks:
Here are my @FSFthinktank’s Anniversary Event remarks. Covers 1) misguided attempt to favor “US telecom manufacturers” based on HQ location rather than defensible standard like trusted manufacturer, & 2) critical need for more midband US 5G spectrum. Congress can fix both! https://t.co/gqV4ECcnTs pic.twitter.com/rYI9fFu43c
