Qualcomm supports the National Broadband Plan released today by Chairman Julius
Genachowski and the FCC, particularly because the Plan seeks to ensure that
every person and business in the United States has access to affordable mobile
broadband. Qualcomm believes the Plan lays a strong foundation for continued
innovation, investment and job creation in mobile technology.



Qualcomm applauds the Plan's call for substantially more spectrum for mobile
broadband, which has the potential to improve virtually every facet of American
life. The FCC recognizes the rapid pace at which mobile broadband devices and
applications are being introduced, the resulting burgeoning increase in
wireless data traffic, and the need for new spectrum to ensure that mobile
broadband networks can keep pace with this growth. As the FCC found, allocating
and auctioning more spectrum for mobile broadband will enable the use of this
technology to drive improvements in many areas that are fundamental to
America's future, including education, health care, energy conservation and
public safety.



Qualcomm was pleased to participate in the FCC's proceedings leading up to the
release of the Plan and looks forward to working with the FCC and other public
and private sector stakeholders to implement the Plan.
