SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NTIA serves as the President's principal
advisor on telecommunications policies and manages the use of the
radio-frequency spectrum by federal agencies. See 47 U.S.C. 902(b)(2).
NTIA is interested in public views on implementing the Strategy, with a
focus on the next 1-3 years, as such inputs allow NTIA and other
federal agencies to benefit from expertise and viewpoints outside the
federal government. These views will be considered in developing the
implementation plan, which is intended to help accelerate U.S.
leadership in wireless communications and other spectrum-based
technologies and to unlock innovations that benefit the American
people.
America is increasingly dependent on secure and reliable access to
radio frequency spectrum. Sufficient access to spectrum is vital to
national security, critical infrastructure, transportation, emergency
response, public safety, scientific discovery, economic growth,
competitive next-generation communications, and diversity, equity, and
inclusion. Increased spectrum access will also advance U.S. innovation,
connectivity, and competition, create high-paying and highly skilled
jobs, and produce improvements to the overall quality of life. Access
to more spectrum, in short, will help the United States continue to
lead the world in advanced technology and enhance our national and
economic security.
Spectrum access, however, must be managed responsibly and
efficiently. NTIA jointly manages the nation's spectrum resources with
the Federal Communications Commission. NTIA is welcoming public input
from interested stakeholders to help inform the development of an
implementation plan for the Strategy, which is needed for the U.S. to
bolster investment in spectrum-related innovative technologies and plan
effectively for its current and future spectrum needs.
Sean Conway,
Deputy Chief Counsel, National Telecommunications and Information
Administration.
