FCC ANNOUNCES TENTATIVE AGENDA FOR NOVEMBER 30th OPEN MEETING
Washington, D.C. -- Today, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski 
announced that the following items will be on the tentative agenda for the next open meeting scheduled 
for Tuesday, November 30, 2010:
• TV Spectrum Innovation NPRM: A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on rules 
to facilitate the most efficient use of the UHF and VHF TV bands. These proposals, an important 
step toward the agency’s spectrum goals as outlined in the National Broadband Plan, would 
remove a host of obstacles to mobile broadband use within spectrum currently reserved for use by 
TV broadcasters, including through innovations such as channel sharing and generating increased 
value within the VHF band.
• Experimental Licensing NPRM: A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on 
proposed rules to facilitate greater experimentation in the wireless space. The NPRM suggests 
making the Commission’s experimental licensing rules more flexible, including by easing testing 
restrictions on universities, research organizations, and other institutions that are developing new 
wireless services and devices. The goal is that the resulting testbeds would encourage innovation 
and help speed the time to market for new technologies.
• Opportunistic Use NOI: A Notice of Inquiry seeking comment on ways to accelerate 
“opportunistic use” of underdeveloped spectrum in both licensed and unlicensed bands, including 
how technological innovations can effectively foster secondary markets.
Topics selected for FCC open meeting agendas are posted on the Commission’s website approximately 
three weeks prior to the Commission’s next monthly meeting. The FCC will also issue a public notice of 
the “Commission Meeting Agenda” one week before the meeting and announce at that time the items that 
are scheduled for the agenda. 
Commission meetings are open to the public, who can attend in person at the FCC headquarters (445 12th 
Street SW, Washington, D.C.), or watch the live stream at www.fcc.gov/live.
