WASHINGTON – The National Spectrum Strategy (“the Strategy”), released November 13, 2023, charts a course for sustained U.S. leadership in advanced wireless technologies and services. The radio spectrum provides numerous forms of connectivity to the American public, from the voice and data communications that fuel smartphones to critical government services that depend on spectrum access, and it therefore serves as a key foundation for the digital infrastructure on which the modern American economy runs. We must provide the spectrum access needed for Federal agency missions while addressing the private sector’s need for greater spectrum access, which is required to maintain and improve our global competitiveness and sustain economic growth. The Strategy will be implemented consistent with existing statutory authorities and Presidential directives, including the recent Presidential Memorandum on Modernizing United States Spectrum Policy and Establishing a National Spectrum Strategy.
