On March 15, 2023, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) released its highly-anticipated Request for
Comment (RFC) to help inform the development of the National Spectrum
Strategy (Strategy)—a "data-driven" plan for the United States to
identify airwaves for more intensive and innovative uses by both the
private sector and federal agencies. NTIA's goal is to identify 1,500
megahertz of spectrum for "in-depth" study for potential repurposing
to meet non-federal and federal users' spectrum needs over the course
of the next decade. The RFC offers a critical opportunity for
interested stakeholders to provide input and help shape the
Strategy. NTIA has indicated that it plans to develop the Strategy by
the end of this year based on the feedback it receives in response to
the RFC. The RFC was published in the Federal Register on March 16,
2023, and sets a comment deadline of April 17, 2023.
NTIA acknowledges the growing needs of many spectrum-reliant services, including fixed and mobile wireless broadband services, satellite communications and other space-based systems, advanced transportation technologies, manufacturing, agriculture, and utilities, medical
devices and applications, Internet of things (IoT), smart cities,
earth and space research, climate monitoring and forecasting, and
national defense and homeland security missions. To address these
needs, NTIA proposes building the Strategy around three core
"pillars," about which the RFC asks specific questions.
