Improving Spectrum Coordination Act of 2021

The Improving Spectrum Coordination Act of 2021 (S. 1472) requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to update their formal agreement for managing the nation’s airwaves. The bill mandates that these agencies establish clearer processes for resolving technical disputes and coordinating how radio frequencies are shared between government and commercial users. For everyday citizens, this improved coordination is intended to reduce interference between devices and speed up the rollout of wireless technologies, such as 5G and high-speed satellite internet.
