"Senator Cruz’s solution is to demand that #NTIA ignore the will of Congress and the law, and, in so doing, deny digital literacy and adoption programing for ALL the covered populations that the law is designed to help—leaving military Veterans, seniors, rural Americans, people with disabilities, low-income people and others without access, the ability to use the #internet or a voice online". https://www.benton.org/content/ntia-should-stay-course-toward-digital-equity

#USA #NTIA #Wireless #SpectrumSharing #6G: "Today, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration announced its implementation plan for President Biden’s National Spectrum Strategy to secure the future of U.S. wireless policy and innovation.

The plan is designed to secure our digital future with “four pillars”: (1) Securing adequate spectrum for next-generation services such as 6G and Wi-Fi 7 without disrupting federal operations (and avoiding interagency feuds such as the fight in 2022 that temporarily shut down air travel); (2) create a stakeholder-driven process to forge a long-term “spectrum pipeline”; (3) facilitate research into cutting-edge spectrum technologies such as dynamic spectrum sharing; and (4) grow our shrinking spectrum workforce to support the wireless economy."

US gov calls for competition in mobile app markets.

Biggest points at the end:

"""
5. Operators should lift restrictions on [ways to] install apps.

While preserving appropriate privacy and security safeguards, legislative measures should prohibit restrictions on sideloading, alternative app stores and web apps.

6. Address limits on in-app purchasing […] by banning requirements to use the operators’ payment system.
