The U.S. Chamber of Commerce appreciates the opportunity to comment on the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s request for public comment (RFC) on Input on Proposals and Positions for the 2020 World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly.
While the Chamber appreciates the vital role the ITU plays in the allocation of spectrum, developing specific technical telecommunication/ICT standards, and promoting the growth of connectivity in developing countries, the WTSA-20 presents an opportunity for the U.S. government and our allies to ensure that the ITU does not expand its jurisdiction and remains focused on its existing mandate and core competencies. The Chamber is committed to working with the U.S. government to identify opportunities for constructive engagement that helps to advance U.S. policy and industry objectives.
