The Biden administration told U.S. agencies to give up some of their telecommunications airwaves so that commercial providers could be ready for a surging demand for 5G services.

The White House released a "National Spectrum Strategy" on Monday calling for "detailed studies" of a number of identified frequencies that the federal government believes could be used by private companies to expand operations related to everything from voice calls to mobile apps. The studies are expected to last up to two years, according to the White House. Telecom providers like Verizon or AT&T could then add frequencies and possibly speed up access to wireless internet.

The White House's plan is a "comprehensive strategy to modernize spectrum policy and make the most efficient use possible of this vital national resource to enhance the quality of life for all Americans," the White House document reads.

The strategy hopes to provide "more transparent, more coordinated" efforts to use airwaves and frequencies more efficiently, National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard told Bloomberg.

The strategy was developed by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in partnership with the Federal Communications Commission. The plan will affect up to 2,700 megahertz.

Commercial companies like telecom providers have sought access to additional airwaves for several years, saying that the government-owned ones are not used efficiently and that the government needs to share these frequencies in order to ensure they are being used well. The Wireless Association argued in an Oct. 26 blog post that the U.S. needs a “bold new national spectrum strategy” to help avert a “looming 5G spectrum shortfall.”
