The National Telecommunications and Information Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it is launching Spectrum.gov, which will bring all of NTIA’s spectrum resources for federal spectrum managers, policymakers, industry, and the public under one easy-to-navigate website. Assistant Secretary Roth announced the new website during her keynote remarks at the 2026 CTIA Summit.

It’s pretty well-known that T-Mobile’s 2.5 GHz spectrum is its workhorse, on top of the 600 MHz that comprises the lowest layer of its spectrum “layer cake.” Its use of millimeter wave—which sits at the top of the cake—isn’t so well-known.

A new report from ABI Research highlights a sharp increase in demand for Wi-Fi technologies in business environments and the need to protect and expand the unlicensed spectrum on which Wi-Fi relies. Published recently following the 6th anniversary of the U.S.

On May 4, 2026, NextNav engineers ascended to the roof of 10 South Almaden Boulevard in San Jose (CA) to conduct a real-world coexistence demonstration using the company’s 5G PNT Network and a standard RFID reader with multiple RFID tags. The goal was straightforward: to put recent claims about RFID interference to the test and use a real-world demonstration to lower the temperature of this discussion. For months, some in the RFID industry have claimed that NextNav’s proposal to enable 5G-powered 3D PNT in the lower 900 MHz band would disrupt RFID devices and impose billions of dollars in c

Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle legal claims that it misled consumers about the abilities of its artificial intelligence system, Apple Intelligence, according to court filings. The settlement resolves a handful of class action lawsuits filed against Apple, which claimed the company oversold what its product could do during its rollout in 2024. Those suits were consolidated in 2025 by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, where a judge still needs to approve the settlement.

The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) submitted the federal Universal Service Support Mechanisms fund size and administrative cost projections for the third quarter of calendar year 2026 (3Q2026). Upon approval of the quarterly funding requirements for the Support Mechanisms, the projected administrative expenses, and the submission of the contribution base amount, the Federal Communications Commission will establish a quarterly contribution factor.

Led by the Federal Communications Commission’s Council on National Security, the FCC launched Operation Clean Carts to rid e-commerce platforms of unauthorized covered equipment. Over the last six months, online marketplaces have collectively removed or blocked over 3 million product listings associated with insecure “covered” equipment. Since each listing can result in many sales, the actual number of devices removed from sale is likely significantly higher.

AT&T is marking 10 years of Access from AT&T by introducing another option for eligible customers to get online. Eligible customers can apply a $25 discount to AT&T Internet Air, our plug-and-play 5G home internet that is backed by the AT&T Guarantee. Connectivity has become a key to nearly every door of opportunity, but tens of millions of Americans still don’t have access to high-speed internet, can't afford it, or have the know-how to use it. This is the digital divide.

Cambridge Broadband Networks Group, a company headquartered in the U.K., is running a business in the U.S., which is similar to Starry Internet. This is interesting given that Starry struggled mightily. There was a time when Starry was a real “star” in the telecommunications world as a fast-growing fixed wireless access provider, using mmWave spectrum to serve multi-dwelling units. The company even went public in a splashy initial public offering.

More than 900 complaints that mention SpaceX or its Starlink internet service have been filed with the Federal Communications Commission over the past five years, according to files obtained through a public records request. The complaints provide a view into how the technology has already evolved into a critical lifeline for some rural U.S. residents.
