In case you missed it – Olivia Trusty, Commissioner to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), pointed to dynamic spectrum sharing frameworks, like the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), as one of the proven “models that work” to maximize scarce spectrum at the Americas Spectrum Management Conference last week in Washington, D.C.

“The good news is: we already have models that show the world how to improve the utility of spectrum in a dynamic communications environment,” said Trusty. “Through CBRS, the United States has explored new ways to balance federal, commercial, and unlicensed uses. The lessons from this experience continue to shape how we think about sharing frameworks going forward.”

CBRS is an American success story–and one that other countries are looking to as a blueprint to create similar frameworks grounded in “evidence-based policymaking and cooperation” to gain a strategic advantage in the race for global spectrum leadership.

As policymakers consider potential changes to the cutting-edge CBRS band, we reiterate calls from U.S. House and Senate leaders and urge Chairman Brendan Carr to preserve and protect the existing, proven band so that current users, including schools, farmers, hospitals, and manufacturers, can continue to deliver the innovation and economic growth that fuels America’s global spectrum edge.
