#ejj1jjj1jjj1jjj to the economy of the  
,united ,states over the next decade2   
,whereas next-generation1 gigabit       
,wi-,fi solutions that rely on          
unlicensed spectrum bands are poised to 
unleash a new round of innovation and   
consumer benefit from an industry that  
generates an economic surplus of        
#edg1jjj1jjj1jjj and contributes        
#ej1jjj1jjj1jjj annually in gross       
domestic product to the economy of the  
,united ,states2 ,whereas #e;,g networks
 will enable innovative consumer and    
industrial applications that will       
enhance and maximize the capability1    
uses1 and quality of technological      
developments1 including telemedicine1   
precision agriculture1 self-driving     
cars1 virtual and augmented reality1

advancements in public safety2 ,whereas 
the ,united ,states is a global leader  
in developing new technology and        
fostering digital innovation that has   

generated significant economic and      
social advancement and opportunity in   
the ,united ,states and around the      
world2 ,whereas many ,states and        
localities are streamlining policies to 
facilitate siting and small cell        
deployment in support of #e;,g networks2
 ,whereas modernizing the infrastructure
 policies of the ,united ,states and    
securing adequate spectrum bands will be
 essential to the deployment of #e;,g   
networks and next-generation wireless   
technologies1 and the realization of all
 its promised economic and social       
benefits2 and ,whereas wireless and     
wired broadband networks1 in addition to
 other technologies1 are essential to   
closing the digital divide1 delivering  
broadband service to rural areas1       
creating jobs1 and powering economic    
development and innovation across the   
,united ,states3 ,now1 therefore1 be it 
,that it is the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that the ,united       
,states should-- 7#a7 promote the       

deployment of #e;,g networks in a manner
 that encourages robust investment1 job 
creation1 economic growth1 and continued
 ,united ,states leadership in          
developing next-generation wireless     
technologies2  7#b7 advance #e;,g       
networks as a way of closing the digital
 divide and reducing the disparity in   
quality communications services         
available in rural areas2  7#c7         
recognize that #e;,g networks will      
facilitate the development of a new
