[OKDXA] White House and Frequency Spectrum

[Marcus Sutliff]

I read about this while on vacation..  should we be concerned?  Sounds like
the FCC is about to be second fiddle to a Spectrum Strategy Task Force?
Anyone else see this or see anything from ARRL or CQ Magazine?

Sec. 4.  Within 270 days of the date of this memorandum, the Secretary,
working through the NTIA, and in consultation with OMB, OSTP, and the FCC,
and other Federal entities, as appropriate, shall submit to the President,
through the Director of the National Economic Council and the Assistant to
the President for National Security Affairs, a long-term National Spectrum
Strategy that includes legislative, regulatory, or other policy
recommendations to:

(a)  increase spectrum access for all users, including on a shared basis,
through transparency of spectrum use and improved cooperation and
collaboration between Federal and non-Federal spectrum stakeholders;

(b)  create flexible models for spectrum management, including standards,
incentives, and enforcement mechanisms that promote efficient and effective
spectrum use, including flexible-use spectrum licenses, while accounting
for critical safety and security concerns;

(c)  use ongoing research, development, testing, and evaluation to develop
advanced technologies, innovative spectrum-utilization methods, and
spectrum-sharing tools and techniques that increase spectrum access,
efficiency, and effectiveness;

(d)  build a secure, automated capability to facilitate assessments of
spectrum use and expedite coordination of shared access among Federal and
non-Federal spectrum stakeholders; and

(e)  improve the global competitiveness of United States terrestrial and
space-related industries and augment the mission capabilities of Federal
entities through spectrum policies, domestic regulations, and leadership in
international forums.
