Spectrum \u200dspace\u2064 is \u200blimited, and multiple users can&#8217;t occupy the same frequency in \u2062the same location. This limitation has sparked a \u2063competition between the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the wireless telecom industry for control over the EMS.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/epochtv\/congressional-electromagnetic-warfare-working-group-on-achieving-spectrum-superiority-a-hudson-event-5401296\">Congressional Electromagnetic Warfare Working Group \u200con \u200bAchieving Spectrum Superiority\u2014A Hudson\u2062 Event<\/a><br \/>\n        <span class=\"text-comp-caption\">7\/18\/2023<\/span>\n      <\/li>\n<li>\n        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/health\/what-are-electromagnetic-frequencies-and-how-do-i-protect-myself-5016973\">What Are Electromagnetic \u200bFrequencies and How Do I\u200b Protect Myself?<\/a><br \/>\n        <span class=\"text-comp-caption\">2\/19\/2023<\/span>\n      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The DOD strongly opposes proposals to share or give\u200d up its exclusive EMS frequencies. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) apportions frequencies to commercial and\u200b government users, including the DOD. The U.S. Department of Commerce&#8217;s \u200dNational Telecommunications &#038; Information \u2064Administration (NTIA) regulates EMS use.<\/p>\n<h2>1500 \u200bMHz Up\u2064 for &#8216;Repurpose&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>The NTIA is currently studying the \u200cexpansion\u2062 of frequencies for \u200ccommercial use, which will form the\u2064 basis of a\u200d National Spectrum Plan.
