The NTIA is seeking industry and public input on 6G future developments. The point is to inform U.S. government policies.
The agency is interested in when 6G technology is expected to start lab and field testing, when it will become commercially available and what developments could replace obsolete wireless communications technologies. NTIA is also assessing whether 6G can improve network resilience during disaster and recovery operations.
“6G will be a next step in the mobile revolution that has brought the Internet to billions of people around the world,” said NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson. “While we are still realizing the full benefits of 5G, it is not too early to be planning for 6G. We look forward to learning more about this next-generation technology and how we can harness the innovations it will bring.”
Public comments are due by August 21, to Docket # NTIA-2024-0001. Submit them through the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal.
