Summary of Bill S 649
Bill 111 s 649, also known as the Radio Spectrum Inventory Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the radio spectrum bands that are currently being used by both federal and non-federal entities.
