CTIA Statement on Proposed 4G Disclosure Legislation

After Senators Blumenthal, Klobuchar and Franken introduced 4G disclosure legislation, I released the following statement:

“As we have said before, this bill proposes to add an additional layer of regulation to a new and exciting set of services, while ignoring the fact that wireless is an inherently complex and dynamic environment in which network speeds can vary depending on a wide variety of factors, such as weather, terrain and foliage. Congress should not impose new regulations. Instead, they should focus on the real issue, which is making sure that America’s wireless carriers have sufficient spectrum to lead the world in the race to deploy 4G services.”
