Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, as spectrum auctions move forward, it is critical that the FCC maintains the integrity of its prior decisions related to spectrum use and auctions. Reallocating or modifying licenses that were legally purchased through auctions, such as by relocating licensees or changing the operating rules applicable to those licenses, would undermine the certainty businesses rely on to make long-term investments in wireless innovation. Companies, investors, and consumers need confidence that once they have secured spectrum rights through a lawful process, those licenses and spectrum access frameworks will be honored. To do otherwise puts future participation and investment at risk.
