Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2025

The Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2025 would require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to actively encourage American companies and other stakeholders to join international organizations that establish standards for wireless communications networks and equipment. The bill would also direct NTIA to provide technical assistance to help these organizations participate effectively in the standards-setting process.

A key provision would prevent NTIA from encouraging or facilitating participation by any companies or stakeholders that have been determined to pose a threat to U.S. national security. This safeguard aims to protect sensitive telecommunications infrastructure while still promoting American involvement in global standards development.

The practical effect of this bill, if enacted, would be to strengthen U.S. influence in how wireless technology standards are developed internationally. By ensuring American companies have the resources and support to participate in these standards organizations, the bill seeks to give the United States a stronger voice in shaping the future of wireless communications technology globally.
