With such rapid innovation and investment across the satellite space, it is important that the U.S. government continue to strengthen American leadership in this sector. The Federal Communications Commission and National Telecommunications and Information Administration should implement
policies that foster competition and innovation that benefit both consumers and the U.S. economy more broadly. Although this technology and market has been pioneered by American companies, LEO constellations are inherently global, making U.S. leadership at bodies like the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL) vital to a thriving industry and U.S. interests.

We are writing to thank you for your steadfast and successful leadership in promoting unlicensed innovation and to urge you to finalize two issues in the pending 6 GHz proceeding in a robust way that is consistent with four key principles described below. The authorization of Very Low Power (VLP) devices and higher power for indoor-only use (LPI) are particularly crucial for digital equity and inclusion, for continued U.S. leadership in next generation Wi-Fi, and for virtually all consumers, businesses and community anchor institutions that increasingly rely on Wi-Fi for connectivity. Above all, we need to ensure that final rules for the 6 GHz band do not create a new Wi-Fi Digital Divide.

Our coalition of national education and library groups welcomes your proposal to establish a pilot program to support cybersecurity services for K-12 schools and libraries. The proposed pilot holds significant promise to inform later modernization of E-rate Category 2 and possibly any other relevant federal programs to help schools and libraries address cybersecurity threats to their networks and sensitive private data. As you prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the cybersecurity pilot, we encourage you to seek public comment on several critical policy decisions, including the pilot program’s: (1) duration and form; (2) priority applicants; and (3) ultimate goals.
