Thank you for inviting me to testify today. I will make the following points. Broadband deployment and growth in the United States is strong, and we compare favorably to the rest of the world, despite conventional wisdom. There is no crisis and no apparent market failure. We can take the time to come up with an intelligent national broadband policy to ensure continued investment and innovation in this critical infrastructure.

Lenard Files Comments With FCC on AWS-3 Spectrum Auction
Technology Policy Institute president and senior fellow Thomas Lenard filed comments today with the Federal Communications Commission on its proposal to auction the 2155-2175 MHz band (AWS-3) subject to rules that would require the winner to offer a basic tier of free wireless broadband service that virtually the entire U.S. population could access. The service conditions are similar to those contained in a 2006 application by M2Z to obtain this spectrum for free.
