Sens Introduce internet of Things bill the DIGIT Act

Congressional interest in the Internet of Things persists, with a new bill aimed at using the network of connected devices to advance American industry. The Developing Innovation and Growing the Internet of Things Act, or the DIGIT Act, is a new bipartisan bill that directs the Federal Communications Commission to report on the spectrum required to support the Internet of Things. It also proposes creating a working group, made of public and private sector representatives, to advise Congress on planning for and encouraging the growth of that network as well as how the federal government can adopt the Internet of Things. The DIGIT Act was introduced by Sens Deb Fischer (R-NE), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), and Brian Schatz (D-HI).
