A new version of the Senate's OBBB (likely referring to an infrastructure or broadband bill) includes a provision to remove protections on the 6 GHz band, potentially opening it up for spectrum auctions. This could impact Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, which rely on this band for operation. Senator Ted Cruz is reportedly behind the plan, aiming to reallocate these frequencies for exclusive use by wireless carriers. This move has the potential to disrupt current Wi-Fi technology and future advancements, potentially impacting consumers and businesses that rely on Wi-Fi connectivity.
