Remarks of FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel at the Mobile World Congress

Imagine, for a moment, that cities worldwide can significantly reduce commute times and traffic. It will take sensors in streetlights, roadside architecture, and cars to see where traffic patterns could be more efficient and public transportation more effective. 5G technology can make it happen. Now to get from here to there will take, you guessed it, spectrum. More than that, it will take new, creative ideas about spectrum policy that have not always been front-andcenter in the 4G past. So now let me offer you three ideas for the road to 5G:
First: To find spectrum for next generation networks we need to look high.
Second, let us not forget unlicensed.
Third—and finally—it’s time for creative licensing policy.
