INCOMPAS Statement on the Proposal to the FCC to Authorize Two-Way Fixed Broadband Service in the 12GHz Band

WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 10, 2024 – INCOMPAS, the internet and competitive networks association, released the following statement of support in response to Chairman Tom Cole’s letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) urging that they adopt final rules authorizing high-powered two-way fixed broadband service in the 12.2 – 12.7 GHz band. The following statement can be attributed to Chip Pickering, CEO, INCOMPAS:

“On behalf of the 5G for 12 GHz Coalition, I commend Chairman Cole for his leadership in urging the FCC to bring fixed broadband service to the 12.2 – 12.7 GHz band. Our nation is at a pivotal moment in its work to connect every community, and the Congressman sees a clear opportunity to use this mid-band spectrum to bridge the digital divide, including in tribal areas in Oklahoma. We encourage the FCC to build on this momentum and act soon so we can continue delivering on the promise of Internet for all.”
