NSR Policy: Wireless Update: Kennedy Cancer Concerns
Plus, a Round One Win for T on 4.9 GHz, TMUS modifies DEI initiative, Carr Signals Hope for Reallocating Military Spectrum as CTIA Presses on Its Spectrum Needs and Its New Leader (Pai) Signals Splits with Carr on Merger Review ApproachWhile there have been major developments in the last week on the future of USF, BEAD, and merger reviews, there have been smaller, but still significant, developments related to the future of wireless services. In this update, we cover those developments. The one carries the most potential significance is the continuing crusade by HHS Secretary Kennedy (RFK) against cell phones and RF emissions. As we discuss, if he uses the institutions under his control to push his ideas on these topics, that could create numerous headaches for the industry, unless the FCC Chair uses his influence with the White House to counter those efforts. In addition, we discuss the first-round win for T on the 4.9 GHz spectrum, TMUS modifying its DEI program in hopes of an easier merger review, the FCC Chair predicting a resolution with the Department of Defense on the spectrum sought by industry, the industry trade association ramping up their efforts to tie their spectrum needs to American economic development and the curious case of their new leader implicitly criticizing the FCC Chair’s approach to merger reviews.
