The House passed two telecom bills last week, sending them on in a bipartisan fashion to the Senate. H.R. 4045, introduced by House Energy and Commerce telecom Chair Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA), would establish a 6G task force at the FCC composed of industry, public interest, academic and government representatives. The group would be tasked with studying the possibilities and limitations of 6G technology, as well as ways the government could help support its growth.
H.R. 2685, introduced by committee member Anna Eshoo (D-CA), would task the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to submit a report to Congress on the cybersecurity of mobile service networks. The report would examine the vulnerability of these networks and mobile devices to cyberattacks and surveillance conducted by adversaries.
