In the May 2025 edition of What's New in Wireless we highlight the recent actions taken by the FCC to address use of the 37 GHz band for wireless services.

The wireless industry has revolutionized the way we connect, from facilitating teleworking, distance learning, and telemedicine to allowing the American public to interact virtually in almost all other aspects of their daily lives.  Leading policymakers – federal regulators and legislators – are making it a top priority to ensure that the wireless industry has the tools and resources it needs to keep pace with this evolving landscape.  This blog provides monthly updates on actions by federal regulatory bodies responsible for communications policy and Congressional efforts to support wireless connectivity.  And this month we highlight the FCC’s request for comments on procedures for auctioning spectrum that can be used for commercial wireless services and to fully reimburse service providers for removing and replacing insecure equipment.

In their webinar “The Telecom Industry Post Chevron – What It Means for your Business”, Communications Infrastructure Litigation Chair T. Scott Thompson, Technology, Communications & Media Chair Angela Kung, and Member Daniel Reing explored the implications of the decision for the telecom industry, and offered insights on how companies can adapt to this significant change.
