Balentine Op-ed Published in Local Outlet

As seen in an InnovateLI op-ed, Provost and Executive Vice President Jerry Balentine, D.O., implores Congress to quickly reinstate the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) lapsed radio spectrum authority, which expired in March 2023. Balentine notes that, since then, no new spectrum has been allocated, hurting wireless connectivity across the country, including those who rely on telemedicine services for their healthcare.

“It is vital that Congress acts now to reauthorize the FCC’s ability to distribute new spectrum and provide a spectrum pipeline for future technological advances. The progress of telehealth and closing the digital divide within the healthcare sector both depend on it,” Balentine writes.
