Senators ask FCC to 'minimize disruption' to CBRS, 6GHz bands

The Federal Communications Commission is once again being asked to tread carefully around the shared CBRS band and the 6GHz band as the agency embarks on a mandate to free up and auction 800MHz of spectrum in the coming years via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. In the most recent example, ten Republican Senators issued a letter on September 10 urging Chairman Brendan Carr to find a "balanced approach" as the FCC explores spectrum availability. "In making its future spectrum designations, we urge the FCC to standby its previous spectrum decisions, commitments and allocations, and avoid disruption to existing uses of spectrum," explained the group, which included Sens Steve Daines (R-MT), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Ted Budd (R-NC), Roger Marshall (R-KS), John Curtis (R-UT), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), John Barrasso (R-WY), and Kevin Cramer (R-ND).
