Refill commercial spectrum pipeline; White House–Congress spectrum coordination process
FCC and Administration should develop a national spectrum strategy freeing airwaves for commercial wireless on an aggressive timeline, and the White House should work with Congress on a coordination process resolving commercial-vs-federal spectrum conflicts (citing FAA mid-band disputes).
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 28 (FCC) — Unleashing Economic Prosperity: refill America’s spectrum pipeline; develop a national spectrum strategy identifying specific airwaves for commercial wireless with aggressive timeline; facilitate coordination—White House should work with Congress to establish a spectrum coordination process that works for commercial and federal users after FCC–FAA mid-band 5G conflicts.
Undo plan
1) Balance commercial auctions with protected federal/aviation/incumbent uses via evidence-based sharing.
2) Create interagency coordination without sidelining FCC independent expertise.
3) Restore auction authority and pipeline with NTIA federal-spectrum reallocation studies.
4) Publish conflict-resolution timelines and interference test data.
5) Verify: MHz auctioned; unresolved federal-commercial disputes.
