PITTSBURGH, November 18, 2019 – ACA Connects President and CEO Matthew M. Polka issued the following statement today applauding FCC Chairman Pai on his decision to support a public auction of the C-Band spectrum:
“We applaud Chairman Pai for his decision to repurpose C-Band spectrum through a public auction as ACA Connects, Charter and CCA proposed in our 5G Plus Plan. We look forward to working with the FCC Chairman and his fellow commissioners on the details of an auction and on a transition plan that allocates necessary funds to accommodate incumbent users and gives cable earth station operators, including in rural America, the flexibility to transition to fiber-based solutions.”
