A Deloitte survey found that the average U.S. household now has a total of 25 connected devices, which includes mobile tablets, smartphones, laptops, video streaming devices and TVs, connected exercise machines, and more. The majority of Americans use Wi-Fi to connect these devices, making the role of unlicensed spectrum increasingly vital. And according to Cisco, the number of global public Wi-Fi hotspots is predicted to increase by four-fold to 628 million between 2018 and 2023, while the worldwide share of IP access network traffic that is carried over Wi-Fi is predicted to grow from 53% in 2019 to 66% in 2025.  

…

More recently, the FCC has also been at the forefront of developing new innovative, hybrid models such as the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS, sometimes referred to as the "Innovation Band") that enables both priority licensees and shared use through dynamic spectrum sharing.

…

The result of this new competition has created significant new benefits for consumers and has incented providers like cable operators to develop new fixed wireless services that can extend the reach of traditional platforms in remote and rural areas, enable private LTE networks used for education, healthcare, energy conservation, and agriculture, and provide competitive mobile access. In fact, in recent years cable operators have become some of the fastest growing wireless providers in the country.

…

Finally, while the future of spectrum policy in the United States will undoubtedly require a balanced approach to the development of commercial wireless needs (both licensed and unlicensed) to meet consumer demand, there will also continue to be a strong consumer interest in the efficient use of spectrum to serve certain governmental or non-commercial interests.
