Identification of 15 Megahertz of Spectrum between 1675 and 1710 MHZ for Reallocation from Federal Use to Non-Federal Use Pursuant to Section 6401(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. Report to the President.

摘要

This recommendation reaffirms NTIA's January 2011 conclusion that the FCC should repurpose the 1695-1710 MHz band for wireless broadband use on a shared basis, as NTIA identified in its Fast Track Report. NTIA issued that report in response to the President's June 2010 directive to identify 500 megahertz of spectrum for wireless broadband services that will help trigger the creation of jobs and innovative new businesses, provide cost-effective connections in rural areas, increase productivity, and allow for the increase use of mobile telemedicine, and other new applications that will transform Americans lives, while ensuring no loss of critical government capabilities. Under the Presidents initiative, NTIA examined the viability of accommodating mobile broadband systems in the 1675-1710 MHz band and concluded that the 1695-1710 MHz band segment could be made available for wireless broadband systems subject to geographic sharing requirements based on establishing exclusion zones around specified federal meteorological-satellite earth station sites.
