Verizon applauds introduction of the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2024

WASHINGTON D. C. – The following statement may be attributed to Robert Fisher, Verizon Senior Vice President, Federal Government Relations and Public Affairs:

"Verizon applauds Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Thune (R-SD), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) for introducing the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2024. Our own Consumer Connections Report found that mobile traffic has skyrocketed by 129% in the last five years. A spectrum pipeline is needed to meet consumers' growing demand for bandwidth and fuel a better-connected future. This bill is a vital step toward ensuring U.S. global competitiveness, bringing consumer choice to the home broadband marketplace, and delivering on the promise to close the digital divide. We stand ready to work with Congress and the Administration to modernize our spectrum posture and advance U.S. wireless leadership."
