Implementing the National Spectrum Strategy

The U.S. is in an era of high-stakes technology development. From artificial intelligence to semiconductor manufacturing, whoever leads in innovation will lead the world in economic growth and national security.  The Biden-Harris Administration is taking a comprehensive approach to advancing network infrastructure through the [Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act], the CHIPS and Science Act, NTIA’s Wireless Innovation Fund (established under that Act), and other federal grant programs....  When it comes to the wireless space, the U.S. has always been the leader. We need clear and bold spectrum policies to stay that way. I am proud to say our National Spectrum Strategy delivers those policies. The starting point—our first pillar—is building a spectrum pipeline so that wireless providers, users, and others have the tools they need to compete and innovate.... The Strategy also calls for stronger coordination among all spectrum stakeholders going forward—not just for these key spectrum studies, but across all future decision-making involving federal and non-federal spectrum use.... The third pillar of the Strategy calls for the development of new and innovative spectrum-based technologies, including Dynamic Spectrum Sharing.... The fourth and final pillar of the National Spectrum Strategy calls for the creation of a national spectrum workforce plan to grow the ecosystem of spectrum experts.... The U.S. is in the midst of an intense competition for global leadership in wireless technologies. We need to be smart, we need to be strategic, we need to be collaborative. And we need to be evidence-based. And, importantly, we need the help of Congress. We need spectrum auction authority restored by Congress.
