Workshop Planned on Model Spectrum City Program

The FCC and NTIA plan a two-day workshop on establishing a model spectrum city program April 15-16 at FCC headquarters, the agencies said Monday in a joint notice. They took comments on the proposal for model cities last summer (see 1409020051) and recently met with those who filed comments to seek additional advice. The notion of a model city was first put forth by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in its July 2012 spectrum sharing report. “This workshop will further explore different aspects of the Model City program including the concept, scope, governance, process, technical considerations and funding alternatives,” the agencies said.
