Earlier this year, the Obama Administration released an updated Strategy for American Innovation which seeks to promote innovation-based growth that will “bring greater income, higher quality jobs and improved health and quality of life to all U.S. citizens.” We at CTIA were pleased – but certainly not surprised – to see that the Strategy prominently highlighted the importance of the wireless industry for American consumers and the U.S. economy. The Strategy gets it right on the mark when it states that “the wireless revolution provides great promise for America’s future prosperity” and concludes that more spectrum is needed to maintain our global technology leadership.
So, when the U.S. Department of Commerce sought comment on the Strategy, we thought it was important to weigh in. In our comments, filed today, we documented the essential role that the wireless industry plays in developing new services, capabilities, products and applications. The continued success of the mobile wireless industry – as a direct contributor to the U.S. economy and as an indirect input into businesses of all sizes – represents one of the crowning accomplishments of U.S. communications policy. It is nice to see that recognized.
