On 15 March, the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) put forth a request for comments on its National Spectrum Strategy. The Secretary of Commerce, working through NTIA and in collaboration with the Federal Communications Commission, is developing a National Spectrum Strategy implementation plan. The National Spectrum Strategy will outline how spectrum resources will meet national requirements. Two listening sessions have been scheduled, which will focus on:
- Repurposing of bands.
- Next-generation networks and technologies.
- Spectrum sharing.
- Spectrum allocation.
Listening sessions on the NTIA proposal will take place in Washington, DC on 30 March. Comments must be submitted by 17 April.
If you would like to understand how the National Spectrum Strategy will impact your business, and how best to respond to NTIA, please contact [email protected].
