Opening Remarks from Alan Davidson Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is thrilled to share details and answer questions about the launch of the first round of funding from our $1.5 billion Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund. The Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund will allow us to invest in the next-generation of wireless innovation to unlock opportunities for new and emerging companies. It’s a long project – it will take a decade or more – and to get there, we need your help.

6G: Open and Resilient by Design
I look forward to discussing 6G and how we can work with our partners to promote open, interoperable, secure, and reliable approaches to this technology. 6G will be the next step in the evolution and revolution of mobile data. To start, 6G will be deployed at a time when mobile connectivity has become centrally important in our daily lives.
