NTIA Works on New Spectrum Policy

The Commerce Department’s National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA) released two reports on its Spectrum Policy for the 21st Century, which includes the establishment of an innovation test-bed for increased sharing between federal and non-federal spectrum users. One of the 24 recommendations included in the reports is the establishment of a spectrum test-bed for innovative new technologies that will enable increased sharing between federal and non-federal users. The report recommends that the FCC and the NTIA should each identify approximately 10 MHz of spectrum to be made available for this program. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/
