On December 28, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit 
affirmed the Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC's" or 
"Commission's") authority to permit unlicensed wireless devices, such as 
internet routers, smart phones, and laptops, to operate in the 6 GHz band.

In AT&T Services, Inc. v. FCC 
<https://cases.justia.com/federal/appellate-courts/cadc/20-1190/20-1190-2021-12-28.pdf?ts=1640709153>, 
the three-judge panel rejected 6 GHz incumbent licensees' arguments that 
allowing such users to operate inside the band would cause undue 
interference with preexisting users, but remanded the First Report and 
Order 
<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-20-164A1.pdf> ("Order") to 
the FCC on one limited issue. As a result of the Order, the Commission 
promises stronger and more expansive and cost-effective Wi-Fi networks 
for consumers and minimal effects on incumbents.
