I look forward to analyzing the recommendations contained in these reports and working together with NTIA to improve spectrum management in the United States. At the FCC, we have worked hard over the last two years to identify and implement significant spectrum management reforms and to make our policies more flexible and market driven. Together we can craft spectrum policies that deliver wireless broadband for the American people. - FCC - 1
