摘要

The Department of Defense has made major progress working through spectrum issues, deciding itrndoesn't need to focus on sharing in the 5 GHz band, and is instead working with broadcasters on sharingrnbroadcast auxiliary service spectrum at 2025 MHz, and working toward the opening of the 1755 MHzrnband for wireless broadband, said Tom Power, deputy federal chief technology officer, at a New AmericarnFoundation event Thursday. (See related story in this issue.) “There’s sort of this perception or caricaturernof this relationship between the agencies and industry as being this tug of war on spectrum with both sides not acting reasonably and the agencies hoarding spectrum,” he said. “But if you look at the work thatrnthese folks are doing, and I’ll single out DOD ... it’s really, really been impressive. They have importantrnmissions to execute on and protect, but they are also focused on the economy.”
