[Scan-DC] FCC Spectrum Dashboard - again

[djoneses at verizon.net]

    The Commission has launched the beta version of it's "Spectrum Dashboard": http://reboot.fcc.gov/reform/systems/spectrum-dashboard
   
   According to the FCC's web site: 
   
        The Spectrum Dashboard provides a public means of reviewing how spectrum bands are allocated and for what uses, and who holds licenses and in what areas. The beta version provides basic, plain language information about frequencies generally deemed appropriate for mobile broadband (225 MHz to 3700 MHz.) In addition, the beta version of the Spectrum Dashboard contains more detailed information, mapping, and research capabilities for the bands where broadband service is either already available, or potentially could be provided.
   
  Here are the search options available:
   
  *     Browse Spectrum Bands <http://reboot.fcc.gov/spectrumdashboard/searchSpectrum.seam>  
   
  Use the graphical spectrum band selection tool to browse allocations, enter specific frequency ranges or select one or more tags to determine potential frequency bands for new broadband products or other purposes within 225 MHz to 3700 MHz.
   
  *     Browse Using a Map <http://reboot.fcc.gov/spectrumdashboard/searchMap.seam>  
   
  Use an interactive map to find enhanced information on licensees that hold broadband spectrum within a particular county or state. Create a map to depict the total amount of spectrum held in spectrum bands such as 700 MHz, 800 MHz Cellular, and PCS.
   
  *     Search by Name <http://reboot.fcc.gov/spectrumdashboard/searchName.seam>  
   
  Search by "common name" to determine who holds spectrum that could potentially be used to provide mobile broadband services, including the total amount of spectrum on a county-by-county basis for spectrum bands such as AWS, BRS, and 700 MHz.
   
  *     Search by FCC License Categories <http://reboot.fcc.gov/spectrumdashboard/searchCategory.seam>  
   
  Select one or more radio services or tags to determine potential frequency bands for new broadband products or other purposes within 225 MHz to 3700 MHz.
   
  Check it out.
