NTIA, in cooperation with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the U.S. Department
of State's Office of International
Communications and Information Policy
(CIP), hosted a two-day wireless technology
showcase and policy discussion. This
two-day event built upon NTIA's "Spectrum
Summit" held last year, the findings
and recommendations of the FCC's Spectrum
Policy Task Force, and the State Department's
international policy and regulatory
reform efforts by highlighting and
demonstrating new and emerging technologies
and creating a forum to discuss important
spectrum policy issues that are likely
to impact tomorrow's ever-changing
marketplace. The technology exhibition
provided policy makers and members
of the public and news media an opportunity
to witness live demonstrations of
cutting edge wireless technologies
and applications. The panel discussions
(

focused on unlicensed
wireless technologies
and will allowed
technology innovators
and entrepreneurs
the opportunity
to interact and
exchange ideas with
key policy decision
makers.
