Congress needs better data on Americans’ use of smart devices, says Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), so it can plan for the country’s connectivity infrastructure needs.

“IoT and smart devices are growing in popularity in our homes and businesses to improve safety, efficiency, and convenience but that would grind to a halt if we do not have enough 5G spectrum available,” the Congresswoman said in a statement. “The United States can’t afford to wait around.”

DelBene last week introduced legislation to direct the Federal Communications Commission to start collecting data on the growing use of 5G mobile networks and IoT devices.
