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.
A panel discussion examining the current administration’s seemingly backward approach to spectrum management. Panelists will address the impact of 5G leadership and explore potential policy solutions to enable continued wireless innovation.
