Wireless Technology Investment and Digital Dividends Act of 2002

This bill proposed a plan to modernize the nation’s wireless infrastructure by auctioning off specific radio frequencies to commercial mobile service providers. The revenue generated from these auctions would have been used to create a "Digital Dividends Trust Fund" dedicated to expanding broadband internet access in rural areas and upgrading public broadcasting stations to digital technology. For everyday citizens, the legislation aimed to improve high-speed internet availability and fund job training programs to help workers adapt to new telecommunications technologies.
