Spectrum Slump: Exploring the FCC’s Challenges in 5G Leadership

Efficient spectrum management is vital to American leadership in wireless innovation. However, under the Biden administration, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has failed to enact a comprehensive spectrum strategy, with no spectrum auctions or spectrum bands in the FCC’s pipeline.
