Remarks of Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, Telecommunication Industry Association, Network of the Future

What I want to talk about today is the future of connectivity, the future of wireless and the future of next generation wireless services, or 5G. We need a framework. So let me offer you my five ideas for 5G.
Idea #1: To find spectrum for next generation networks we need to look high.
Idea #2: When we look high for new spectrum, we cannot forget that we also need to look low.
Idea #3: We need not just licensed airwaves, but unlicensed airwaves too.
Idea #4: To build a bigger wireless future, we need to focus as much on the ground as on the skies.
Idea #5: We need sandboxes for cities—and more experimental licenses.
