Coalition Letter to the FCC Regarding Spectrum Innovation and 6GHz for Digital Equity

Abstract

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.
