WASHINGTON, D.C.<\/span><\/span><\/b> \u2013 Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, released the following statement applauding news that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued spectrum licenses through the agency\u2019s first-of-its-kind Rural Tribal Priority Window to Tribal entities across the country, including 10 Tribes in Nevada, to help bridge the digital divide.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs the coronavirus pandemic has amplified, far too many Tribes in Nevada and across the nation lack adequate broadband access,\u201d said the Senators.<\/b> \u201cThe closure of schools and businesses due to COVID-19 has only exacerbated this digital inequality. We congratulate the Tribes in Nevada who are receiving these first-of-its-kind Rural Tribal Priority Window licenses, which will provide the opportunity for much-needed advanced wireless services. We will continue working to increase access to broadband and home internet connectivity to bridge the digital divide affecting so many of our nation\u2019s Tribal communities.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

BACKGROUND:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b> The FCC\u2019s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau formally granted 154 applications, including 10 in Nevada, for use of the 2.5 GHz band to close the digital divide and provide broadband and other advanced wireless services, including 5G, to rural Tribal communities. These licenses provide for exclusive use of up to 117.5 megahertz of 2.5 GHz band spectrum that can be used by Tribes to connect their communities. The 10 Nevada Tribes awarded licenses are:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
