New America Official Hopes IRAC Focused on Making CBRS Work Better

Michael Calabrese, director of the Wireless Future Program at New America, said if the 3.5 GHz citizens broadband radio service band is hung up in the Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee, he hopes it’s for a good reason (see 1809240059). “If questions are raised in the IRAC, they [should] focus on why the FCC seems to want to modify CBRS licenses so that they are unaffordable and unworkable for every other industry and sector except the big mobile carriers,” Calabrese told us.
