NTIA Comments on Considering Expanding Use of the 12.7-13.25 GHz Band for Mobile Broadband or Other Expanded Use
NTIA, on behalf of the Executive Branch and consistent with its responsibility to ensure that the views of the Executive Branch are effectively presented to the Commission, provides these comments in response to the Notice of Inquiry (NOI).
