The FCC is getting set to release a public notice asking for comment on spectrum model cities, as recommended by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, said NTIA Administrator Larry Strickling Thursday at the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee meeting. NTIA, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the FCC are considering proposals for a “test city” to be a real-world environment for trying out new business models, applications and services, said Tom Power, deputy federal chief technology officer, in April (CD April 7 p2).
