#USA #NTIA #Wireless #SpectrumSharing #6G: "Today, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration announced its implementation plan for President Biden’s National Spectrum Strategy to secure the future of U.S. wireless policy and innovation.

The plan is designed to secure our digital future with “four pillars”: (1) Securing adequate spectrum for next-generation services such as 6G and Wi-Fi 7 without disrupting federal operations (and avoiding interagency feuds such as the fight in 2022 that temporarily shut down air travel); (2) create a stakeholder-driven process to forge a long-term “spectrum pipeline”; (3) facilitate research into cutting-edge spectrum technologies such as dynamic spectrum sharing; and (4) grow our shrinking spectrum workforce to support the wireless economy."

Between CES requiring me to fly to Las Vegas last Sunday–which itself required that I spend last Saturday working to get ready for the show–and then the ShmooCon information-security conference occupying my attention in D.C. Friday through Sunday, I’ve had 11 days in a row of work. And I am a little tired now.

Patreon readers got a bonus post this week: my annual breakdown of where my income came from, as sorted by the business models of my clients.

1/8/2024: CES 2024: Punkt. Partners With Apostrophy for Privacy-First Phone, PCMag

My PCMag colleague Eric Zeman wrote the first take of this from the East Coast, then I met Apostrophy co-founder and CEO Steve Cistulli for a hands-on inspection of the first smartphone running this startup’s privacy-optimized fork of Android’s open-sourced code. The next morning, I updated the story with my observations and quotes and added myself to the byline.

1/11/2024: At CES, Dish touts $50 million grant alongside spectrum transaction, Light Reading

I had an off-Strip field trip Wednesday morning to see Charlie Ergen, chair of Dish Wireless’s parent firm EchoStar, speak alongside National Telecommunications and Information Administration head Alan Davison about Dish winning a $50 million award from the government to set up a center to test wireless network gear for Open RAN (radio access network) compatibility.

1/11/2024: ‘Dronesoccer’ Gets a Noisy Turn in the Spotlight at CES 2024, PCMag

Hands-on experience Tuesday and spectating Wednesday allowed me to file this report from CES exhibits of a new, soccer-derived sport in which handballs are impossible but “droneball” in-flight collisions are all but assured.

1/11/2024: Cloud Security – The Safest Altitude?, CES

I led this panel discussion Thursday morning between Mason Clutter, chief privacy officer of the Department of Homeland Security; Peter Prizio, CEO of the infosec firm SnapAttack, and Melissa Smith, head of strategy and tech partnerships at Google’s infosec subsidiary Mandiant.  We had a great conversation onstage, and then I was confused to see nobody in the audience step up to ask a question or even offer a question that was more of a comment.
