Implementing the PCAST Spectrum Sharing Report

A Citizens Broadband Service and Beyond

 

Friday April 4, 2014

2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.  EDT

 

 

At a time when Congress and the FCC was focused solely on spectrum auctions as a way to meet exploding mobile device data demand, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) in 2012 recommended a parallel path to bandwidth abundance: opening a "spectrum superhighway" on underutilized military and other Federal government airwaves.  President Obama last year issued an executive order putting the Administration squarely behind spectrum sharing as a technical and economic underpinning of America's wireless future.

 

In a speech on Monday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced that he will soon circulate "proposed rules designed to make the PCAST [spectrum sharing] vision a reality." The FCC is seeking to implement the PCAST framework to create a Citizens Broadband Service and open an additional 150 MHz of high-quality spectrum for dynamic spectrum sharing.  The band will be low-power - forcing efficient spectrum re-use - and for the first time combine both opportunistic (unlicensed) and licensed access.

 

At this forum, the President's top economic advisor, his deputy CTO for telecom policy, and PCAST members who led the formulation of the ground-breaking PCAST report, will review progress on the implementation of the Council's 2012 recommendations and its importance to the U.S. economy.
