"PDV has worked closely with the critical infrastructure industry throughout this process to highlight the clear and urgent need for broadband spectrum," stated Morgan O'Brien, CEO of pdvWireless. "Our comments filed with the Commission are representative of this cross-industry collaboration. While much of the NPRM's principal elements reflect PDV's original proposal, there are several remaining issues of importance that we look forward to working with the Commission to address.
