Spectrum Conference 2012: Panel 2
Channel: Public Knowledge
Date: 2012-12-11

In mid-November, Public Knowledge, CTIA- The Wireless Association, and Silicon Flatirons Center hosted a conference on spectrum policy, titled Looking Back to Look Forward: The Next Ten Years of Spectrum Policy. The room was packed with upwards of 200 people there to debate the future of spectrum.

The year 2012 marks a pivotal time in the conversation on spectrum, as the midway point in the Obama Administration that began the FCC's National Broadband Plan, the 10-year anniversary of the FCC Spectrum Policy Task Force Report, and a hundred years since the 1912 Radio Act. The conference heard from FCC Commissioners Jessica Rosenworcel and Robert McDowell, as well as many others on the history, reform, and what lies ahead for spectrum policy.
