The latest wireless statistics submitted to the FCC today show that the U.S. leads the OECD in wireless competition, use and price; the U.S. is not falling behind.

• These data show why:
  • Monopoly net neutrality regulations are unnecessary;
  • The U.S. leads the world in wireless broadband adoption and use; and
  • Broadband mobility is as important as broadband speed to U.S. consumers.
