In comments filed with the Federal Communications Commission, the Broadband Access Coalition has devised and supports a “win-win-win” solution to expanding flexible use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz band spectrum.

With a reasonable sharing and licensing regime, the 3.7 GHz band can be transformed from an underutilized band to a band that enables and incents robust broadband service across America.
