The Biden administration on Monday told US agencies to work toward giving up use of some telecommunications airwaves in order to make room for commercial providers facing surging demand for fast 5G services.
The plan, called the National Spectrum Strategy, called for “detailed studies” to be concluded within two years. The document provides for “more transparent, more coordinated” efforts at airwaves management, Lael Brainard, director of the National Economic Council, said.
