As the manager of all federal spectrum use, NTIA is doing important work to ensure that we are maximizing our country’s spectrum resources to serve the nation’s communications priorities.

NTIA will convene meetings of a multistakeholder process on promoting software component transparency. This Notice announces the first meeting, which is scheduled for July 19, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the American Institute of Architects, 1735 New York Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20006. For further information, contact Allan Friedman, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S.

Recognizing the vital importance of the Internet and digital communications to U.S. innovation, prosperity, education, and civic and cultural life, NTIA has made it a top priority to encourage growth and innovation for the Internet and Internet-enabled economy. Towards that end, NTIA is seeking comments and recommendations from all interested stakeholders on its international Internet policy priorities for 2018 and beyond. These comments will help inform NTIA to identify priority issues and help NTIA effectively leverage its resources and expertise to address those issues.

NTIA, on behalf of the Department of Commerce (Department), is requesting comment on actions that can be taken to improve the quality and accuracy of broadband availability data, particularly in rural areas, as part of the activities directed by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018.

NTIA will host a symposium on June 12, 2018, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. EDT, focusing on the development and implementation of national spectrum policies to support continuing U.S. leadership and innovation in wireless telecommunications and other spectrum-dependent technologies. The symposium will be held at The National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, 13th Floor, Washington, DC 20045.

As the manager of all federal spectrum use, NTIA is doing important work to ensure that we are maximizing our country’s spectrum resources to serve the nation’s communications priorities. We are committed to developing and implementing novel spectrum management approaches, and are exploring ways to put underutilized federal and non-federal spectrum to use while protecting critical federal missions.
