I've outlined four principles that the @FCC must advance regarding C-band spectrum: we must (1) free up significant spectrum for #5G, (2) do so quickly, (3) generate revenue for the federal government, and (4) ensure continued delivery of services currently using the C-band.
@FCC After much deliberation and a thorough review of the extensive record, I've concluded that the best way to advance these principles is through a public auction of 280 megahertz of the C-band conducted by the @FCC's excellent staff.
@FCC With a strong track record of successful auctions, I'm confident they'll quickly conduct a public auction that will give everyone a fair chance to compete for this #5G spectrum, while preserving availability of the upper 200 MHz of the band for continued delivery of programming.
@FCC Earlier today, the @FCC sent letters to various elected officials outlining my decision in the C-band proceeding. docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm…

1) At the heart of so many small, rural towns is a cadre of citizens willing to sacrifice personal time to participate in civic life: heading school boards, serving as @boyscouts leaders, helping local community colleges. My hometown of Parsons, KS just lost such a citizen.
2) Robert "Bob" Brandenburg led an extraordinary life. In 1950, at 12, he contracted polio. He never let it limit him. (And Parsons rallied around him, e.g., carrying his wheelchair up & down stairs during his school years.) He became a community mainstay in every way possible.
3) I knew him very well through his community service, & also because he worked w/ my parents & his daughter was in my class. Later, he kept up w/ my work @FCC, often sending very kind notes of support. RIP, Bob Brandenburg: a good Kansan & a great man. wallfuneralservices.com/obituaries/obi…

Great overview in @WSJ: Internal squabbling over access to wireless spectrum could cost the U.S. dearly in the 5G race with China wsj.com/articles/u-s-g…
Spectrum is a massive economic and geostrategic opportunity and challenge.

And the mid-band issue is now at a massive inflection point.

The great @AjitPaiFCC has his priorities exactly right on this.
The first two points are key. As much mid-band as quickly as possible. Because otherwise China deploys 5G first and sets the de facto global standards. And an up $18B hit to consumers for a two year delay per @WillRinehart.

This is not rocket science, friends.

Asking the #citizenship #question is #necessary for the #federal #government to #fulfill its #role in #advising #Congress regarding #enforcement of the #constitutional #right to #vote.
So it is #perplexing to read #newsreports that @TheJusticeDept is searching for a #path to #inclusion of the #citizenship #question.

Why is this a #puzzle for you?
The @uscensusbureau must do the best it can to accurate #ascertain #both the #number of #persons and the #number of #citizens.

"5G networks in the US are showing millimeter wave signals aren't traveling > 350 feet, even when there are no major obstructions. They're also not penetrating walls or windows, making indoor coverage difficult." wired.com/story/choosing… "millimeter wave will not be easy or cheap"
"If the US government is serious about 5G they ought to be focusing on getting CBRS and the C-Band spectrum into the market as quickly as possible. The 'Real 5G' is going to flourish in what we now call mid-band spectrum, between 2.5GHz and 4.2GHz." lightreading.com/mobile/5g/abse…
The cost of building out in millimeter wave spectrum + poor propagation in millimeter wave = Phoenix sold at only 0.0218 per MHz/POP.

The lower the spectrum the better the unit economics of a MHz. Deployment gets hard above 2.5 and really hard above 6Ghz.lightreading.com/mobile/5g/amer…

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal
