National Spectrum Strategy

As required by the Presidential Memorandum titled Modernizing United States Spectrum Policy and Establishing a National Spectrum Strategy, the Secretary of Commerce, through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), prepared this National Spectrum Strategy to both promote private-sector innovation and further the missions of federal departments and agencies, submitting it to the President through the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. To ensure our country remains the global leader in advanced wireless technologies, the U.S. government has adopted a bold vision for spectrum policy by:

• Identifying a strong pipeline of spectrum to study for private sector use, including the lower 3 GHz and the 7-8 GHz bands. 
• Improving coordination on spectrum decision-making both within the government and between the private sector and the public sector.
• Focusing on advanced technology, including the development of a dynamic spectrum sharing capability, that could help make even crowded bands available for more intensive use.
• Growing the spectrum ecosystem workforce through the development of a National Spectrum Workforce Plan.
