What a wonderful few years!
Thank you everyone at the FCC for being so welcoming and patient as I learned how the place works.
And, of course, I’m deeply grateful to @BrendanCarrFCC for taking a chance on me and bringing me back to DC.
Most of all, it was a privilege to get to know the talented and diligent people who make the FCC the premier telecom regulator—and to see how they improve the lives of the people we serve.
I’ll be transitioning off of this account later today. If for some reason you want more of my nonsense, follow @WillAdamsUSA.
Thanks again, and have a blessed and safe holiday season!

Wow! @NobelPrize in Economics goes to Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson, whose “best-known contribution is the auction they designed the first time the US authorities [the @FCC!] sold radio frequencies to telecom operators.” Very well-deserved recognition. nobelprize.org/prizes/econom…

This FCC is doing big things to encourage wireless infrastructure. And now we know what that means for investment.
Short thread . . .
1/5
Americans' demand for wireless spurred that investment. In 2019, wireless data use surged nearly 30% to 9.2 GB per smartphone user per month.
That data demand only will increase with 5G as speeds increase and new ways to use wireless are invented.
4/5
That's the opportunity (and challenge) for regulators and industry--to stay ahead of what Americans need from wireless.
