2024Annual SurveyHighlightsIn fact, In fact, the recent Wireless Investment and Economic Benefits report found that this decade, the wireless industry has been the nation’s second-largest source of direct investment. This is a testament to the wireless industry’s long history of driving our economy forward.But all of this is increasingly at risk. For more than a year, the FCC has been left without the authority to auction more spectrum, and there is no pipeline of spectrum to serve as the foundation for future wireless growth. To continue to meet the insatiable demand for wireless, drive innovation, and support America’s economic competitiveness, the wireless industry needs access to more full-power, licensed spectrum—especially in the mid-band, the key range for 5G networks and where America lags other leading countries.More spectrum will allow this incredible success story to continue and secure America’s leading role as the world’s wireless and innovation leader.Thirty years ago, America jumpstarted the wireless era with the world’s first spectrum auction. Today, CTIA’s annual survey of industry data shows that wireless is increasingly integrated into the way all Americans live and work. In fact, this year’s report shows that we’ve crossed a major milestone, with Americans using more than 100 trillion MBs of wireless for the first time, fueled by licensed spectrum. This achievement is the result of the largest year-over-year increase in wireless data demand. And it reflects 5G’s continued rapid adoption. Today, 40% of wireless connections are 5G, and more than 330 million Americans are covered by one or more 5G networks. The impact is being felt across all sectors of our economy. For the second year running, 5G is America’s fastest-growing home broadband solution. It’s bringing real competition to cable, real choice to millions of Americans, and narrowing the digital divide. And 5G is helping companies like Rockwell Automation invent the next generation of smart manufacturing, the Cleveland Clinic enhance care with 5G-connected hospitals, and the Gallaudet University Bison football team level the playing field for deaf and hard of hearing players.What makes all of this possible is wireless industry investment. This year, we cross another threshold, with cumulative wireless industry capital expenditures exceeding $700 billion.
