FCC Releases Three Studies on Unlicensed Spectrum

FCC RELEASES THREE STUDIES ON UNLICENSED SPECTRUM
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission]
The FCC's Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis released three working papers on two important spectrum management issues: Working Paper #41, "Enhancing Spectrum's Value Via Market-informed Congestion Etiquettes" and Working Paper #42, "Modeling the Efficiency of Spectrum Designated to License Use and Unlicensed Operations," examine ways in which spectrum designated to licensed and unlicensed use can be more efficiently used. Working Paper #43, "A Market-based Approach to Establishing Licensing Rules: Licensed Versus Unlicensed Use of Spectrum," examines the feasibility of employing a market mechanism to determine whether spectrum should be designated to either licensed or unlicensed use. The full text of each working paper is available at http://www.fcc.gov/osp/workingp.html. OSP contact: Mark Bykowsky, 202-418-1695.
