Technological progress over many decades has enabled the deployment of several successive generations of cellular telephone technology, which is now used by many billions of people worldwide; the near-universal addition of wireless local area networking to personal computers; and a proliferation of actual and proposed uses of wireless communications. The flood of new technologies, applications, and markets has also opened up opportunities for examining and adjusting the policy framework that currently governs the management and use of the spectrum and the institutions involved in it, and models for allocating spectrum and charging for it have come under increasing scrutiny. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Yet even as many agree that further change to the policy framework is needed, there is debate about precisely how the overall framework should be changed, what trajectory its evolution should follow, and how dramatic or rapid the change should be. Many groups have opinions, positions, demands, and desires related to these questions--reflecting multiple commercial, social, and political agendas and a mix of technical, economic, and social perspectives. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The development of technologies and associated policy and regulatory regimes are often closely coupled, an interplay apparent as early as the 1910s, when spectrum policy emerged in response to the growth of radio communications. As outlined in this report, current and ongoing technological advances suggest the need for a careful reassessment of the assumptions that inform spectrum policy in the United States today. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book seeks to shine a spotlight on 21st-century technology trends and to outline the implications of emerging technologies for spectrum management in ways that the committee hopes will be useful to those setting future spectrum policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,Computer Science and Telecommunications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309163986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309163989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064839713023,"sku":"9780309163989","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c8a1f60-678d-43e4-8103-060985ff4c99.jpg?v=1768671378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wireless-technology-prospects-and-policy-national-research-council-9780309163989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
