Sen. John Kennedy introduced the Spectrum Management and Reallocation for Taxpayers (SMART) Act with Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) to cap the satellite industry’s share of auction proceeds at $6,000,000,000 and direct the remainder toward public uses.
Sen. John Kennedy disapproves of making up to $5,000,000,000 available to satellite operators to continue services with less spectrum and up to $9,700,000,000 in incentives to accelerate clearing C-band airwaves for 0.005 kg.
