The following statement is attributed to Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Technology Association (CTA), regarding today's vote by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to Streamline Wireless Infrastructure Deployment:

   "The race between countries to launch 5G networks is underway and today's action is a catalyst for innovation, paving the way for the U.S. to be 5G-ready. Modernizing and removing unnecessary regulations for small cell technology provides the much-needed backbone for smart cities, self-driving vehicles and digital healthcare, not to mention the three million jobs associated with upgraded mobile networks. The future of wireless has arrived, and we thank the FCC and Commissioner Brendan Carr for setting common-sense federal regulations that will help turn the promise of 5G into a reality."
