In today’s wireless world, the demand for spectrum from consumers, businesses, and federal users continues to grow at a rapid rate. In fact, global mobile traffic nearly tripled in 2010, for the third year in a row. At NTIA, a critical part of our work involves developing policies and processes to maximize the efficient use of spectrum – and this work is more important now than ever before. In fact, Assistant Secretary Strickling has highlighted spectrum sharing as a key area for research and analysis if we are going to meet consumers’ and businesses’ growing demand for wireless broadband services in the coming years.
