FCC TO HOST SPECTRUM SUMMIT ON OCTOBER 21
Washington, D.C. -- On Thursday, October 21, the Federal Communications Commission will host a 
spectrum summit highlighting the economic and social importance of solving the spectrum crunch for 
mobile broadband. Leaders from industry, government, academia, and the investment community will 
focus on mobile broadband’s potential to improve productivity, create new jobs, and ensure U.S. 
leadership in the global economy.
The Summit will feature a panel of experts to discuss concrete ways in which high-bandwidth mobile 
broadband services will benefit key economic sectors like energy, healthcare, transportation, and 
education. A second panel will discuss novel policy approaches to meet the growing spectrum demand so 
that those benefits can become a reality.
Additional information regarding the spectrum summit and an official agenda will be released prior to the 
event.  
The workshop will be open to the public; however, registration will be limited to the seating available.
