So the pressure is on to find new and innovative ways to manage our spectrum resources. The creative thinking in today’s report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology is a good place to start. I look forward to reviewing the report and working with my colleagues at the Commission to consider new ways to facilitate spectrum sharing—including expanding small cell use, further developing database management systems, and setting the stage for more investment in dynamic technologies. This can help us realize the full potential of our airwaves to both serve federal interests and provide new and innovative uses for businesses and consumers.” ###
