Spectrum Inventory – Worth the Wait
by Andrew McCaskey
Well Worth the Money and the Wait
Some government studies are worth the effort and expense. Let’s hope that the Radio Spectrum Inventory Act, introduced by John Kerry (D-MA), Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Roger Wicker (R-MS) makes the cut.
The proposed law amends part of the Communications Act by adding a requirement for a national survey of portions of the spectrum are actually in uses. Not only who is licensed to operate, but who actually used the resource. The survey will cover everything from 200MHz to 3.5GHz, and will be run by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Federal Communications Commission.
What’s even better is that the bill also requires that this information be published in web-accessible form in near real-time. This is one example of transparency that could pay large dividends when coupled with white space devices and insure that at least one natural resource is being wisely used.
