The bill has support from both parties and addresses popular concerns about tech competition with China, but it is still in the early stages of the committee process.

Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Commerce to create a national plan to promote American Wi-Fi technology around the world. The goal is to make sure U.S. technology remains the global standard for wireless internet and other unlicensed devices.
The policy specifically aims to counter influence from China at a major global technology conference in 2027. Lawmakers are concerned that China will push for rules that favor their own government-controlled equipment over American-made tech.
Wi-Fi is a massive part of the American economy, contributing over $1 trillion every year. This plan would help protect that value by ensuring U.S. companies can continue to lead in new fields like 6G and satellite communications.
The government would be required to work with American allies to build a united front. By coordinating with other countries, the U.S. hopes to keep wireless networks open and secure from foreign interference.
The plan must be finished within 180 days of the bill becoming law. It will include specific strategies to stop foreign adversaries from undermining American wireless technology.
