What's in it

See official bill text

Costs $5 million over 5 years (2025–2029) for federal administration and technical assistance.

The $5 million is the federal cost to run the NTIA's new technical assistance program—the policy's real impact is on which companies and standards bodies participate in wireless development, not a federal spending program.
