I would just point out some of the obvious. We're currently experiencing a global shortage of microchips. There are bottlenecks in a whole host of industries, and the ability to achieve interoperability among different devices allows us to achieve new purposes and new functions for the equipment that we already have. Beyond manufacturing and innovating new products that are interoperable, this bill would also help in using more of what we have for more varying contextual purposes. To that end, I think it could aid in dealing with shortages.
