Statement by CCA President & CEO Steven K. Berry: “I thank Chairman Pai for his commitment to a public auction of 280 MHz of valuable C-band spectrum, and there is no question the transition process, including adequate incentive payments for the satellite companies, is one of the most critical components. All carriers – both large and small – must have the opportunity to access C-band spectrum. I encourage the FCC to keep moving forward on this issue so that consumers, particularly those in rural areas, can reap the benefits of next-generation technologies as quickly as possible.”
