John Stankey emphasized, "We've gone from being first, second or third in the globe to 14th among developed countries right now. We're sliding, and we need to get back to doing the right thing." His statement underscores the urgency for the U.S. to reclaim its leadership in 5G technology as it currently lags behind.
Stankey advocates for freeing mid-band spectrum by noting, "Telecom companies have spent billions to build out the wireless infrastructure to support their 5G networks... The industry needs policy clarity and access to spectrum to continue making those investments." This highlights the critical role of government policy in advancing technology.
Further emphasizing the economic implications, Stankey mentioned, "The status quo could cost U.S. consumers a lot more money." He warns that lack of access to 5G could hinder growth in multiple sectors, affecting everyday consumers directly.
