    I’m encouraged by the national spectrum policy goals described in this symposium. I’m looking forward to learning more about the ongoing progress toward the stated objectives – specifically unlicensed spectrum. We need more policymakers informed about our essential participation in the Global Networked Economy.

  WEBCAST TODAY: Spectrum and Indigenous Connectivity: Intervening in ISED Consultation 

  Today Friday Oct 1 2021 at 11:00 EDT (15:00 UTC) ISOC.LIVE will webcast a recording of the Internet Society Sep 21 webinar to discuss the importance of spectrum for enabling broadband Internet service in Indigenous communities across Canada. Ensuring access to adequate spectrum provides opportunities for underserved communities to connect themselves with reliable, affordable Internet that is provided by the current market.

  In August, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) initiated a consultation on a new supplementary licensing process (Access Licensing framework) for unused spectrum to support innovation and the availability of rural services. If implemented correctly, this process can be a major benefit for Indigenous connectivity efforts across Canada.

  This webinar provided the background needed to engage in ISED’s consultation process, which closes on October 12, focusing on the importance of spectrum for Indigenous communities, the current state of spectrum policy in Canada, promising practices for spectrum allocation in the US, and navigating the consultation process.

  WEBCAST TODAY:  Harnessing Satellite Spectrum for Broadband: Will Incumbents Sell, Stay, or Share? #SharedSpectrum #FCC #spectrum 

  Today, Friday Jun 15 2018 at Noon EDT (16:00 UTC), the Open Technology Institute presents Harnessing Satellite Spectrum for Broadband: Will Incumbents Sell, Stay, or Share? At its July meeting, the FCC will examine two proposals to repurpose a portion of the C-Band (3700 – 4200 MHz) that involve clearing the satellite service – mainly used for tv signal distribution – off the lower portion of the band (boosting mobile capacity for 5G) and authorizing shared use of the unused frequencies in the remainder of the band (enabling high-capacity fixed wireless). This event will will open with presentations summarizing the two leading proposals, by Intelsat and Google, respectively, followed by a panel discussion with a variety of stakeholders. It will be webcast live via YouTube.
