FCC and NTIA Announce Workshop on Model City Program

9:00 am - 4:00 pm EDT
Commission Meeting Room, TW-C305, FCC Headquarters, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554.

 

In July 2014, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) issued a Joint Public Notice (PN) to seek public comments on establishing a public-private partnership to facilitate the creation of one or more urban test cities to support rapid experimentation and development of policies, underlying technologies and system capabilities for advanced, dynamic spectrum sharing. As a next step in the potential formation of the Model City, NTIA and FCC held this national workshop with interested Model City stakeholders from industry, government and academia, to further explore the development of, and alternatives for, concept, scope, governance framework and technical considerations. The feedback received will be important in building the record on this matter to bring the Model City concept to reality as we continue to work on ways to enhance effective spectrum utilization, technology innovation and global technology leadership. In addition, the model city workshop discussed case studies of similar efforts.

The tentative agenda for the workshop structure included the following:
