In a recent party-line vote, E&C Republicans have advanced ambitious technology plans that include significant spectrum auction proposals. The House committee has decided to remove lower 3 GHz and 6 GHz frequencies from the auction discussions during the reconciliation mark-up. The reconciliation package aims to auction 600 megahertz of federal spectrum, prompting discussion within the Senate, which seeks to weigh in on the matter. A recent budget bill has also been put forth, allowing the FCC to auction the proposed spectrum. However, there are concerns raised by senators regarding the implications of auctioning frequencies, particularly regarding the potential impact on technology and industry. Notably, Republican efforts, including a bill from Congressman Guthrie, aim to raise $88 billion from these spectrum auctions, which has sparked a wider debate on the role of the FCC in managing spectrum sales. As various factions within Congress push for their agendas, the future of spectrum policies and related spending on technology, including AI, remains in focus.
