“A great but unheralded feature of the One Big Beautiful Bill passed in July was an authorization for the Federal Communications Commission to raise $88 billion to $100 billion through electronic spectrum auctions. Selling this additional 600 to 800 megahertz of bandwidth to the private sector will enable the U.S. to expand 5G and even 6G technology, ensuring American dominance in internet, artificial intelligence and satellite technologies. President Donald Trump gets this …. Sen. Ted Cruz had proposed a spectrum deal twice as large: raising as much as $200 billion and creating a wireless ‘pipeline’ that would provide 5G reception and services to nearly all households and businesses.” (10/07/25)
