Bipartisan Bill Would Require FCC Spectrum Study for IoT, 5G Devices

A bipartisan bill introduced Thursday would direct the FCC to assess spectrum supply for IoT and 5G devices and deliver its findings to Congress biennially. “The explosion in use of IoT devices by families and businesses means we need to ensure we have enough spectrum available to accommodate this growing technology,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., who introduced the IoT Readiness Act with Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y.
