Spectrum Management for the 21st Century: Plan to Identify and Implement Incentives that Promote More Efficient and Effective Use of Spectrum. Part of the President's Spectrum Policy Initiative

摘要

In May 2003, the President committed the Administration to the development of a United States Spectrum Policy that promotes economic prosperity and national security through the 21st century. Since then, the Executive Branch has worked to implement the President's Spectrum Policy Initiative. In June 2004, the Secretary of Commerce provided the President two reports documenting the results of a one-year study of spectrum reform. Both reports focused on four specific goals outlined by the President. These were to: (a) facilitate a modernized and improved spectrum management system; (b) create incentives for more efficient and beneficial use of spectrum and policies increasing predictability and certainty for incumbent users; (c) develop policy tools to streamline the deployment of new services while preserving security and public safety, and encouraging scientific research; and (d) meet critical spectrum needs related to national and homeland security, critical infrastructure protection, and scientific advancement.
