POSSIBLE RELIEF: The Commerce Department has identified a 95 megahertz-wide band that could be auctioned to wireless companies to alleviate data congestion on smartphones and other mobile devices.
THE HURDLES: Freeing up the airwaves won't be easy. Agencies must switch to new locations on the airwaves or share their existing frequencies with commercial networks.
USES TODAY: The military uses parts of that block for training and missile-guidance systems. Law enforcement agencies need it for video surveillance. NASA and the Pentagon operate unmanned aircraft there. The government estimates there are more than 20 federal agencies with roughly 3,100 individual frequency assignments.
