"All consumers . . . deserve a new
spectrum policy paradigm that is rooted in modern-day technologies
and markets. We are living in a world where demand for spectrum
is driven by an explosion of wireless technology and the ever-increasing
popularity of wireless services. Nevertheless, we are still living
under a spectrum 'management' regime that is 90 years old. It
needs a hard look, and in my opinion, a new direction."
Chairman Michael K. Powell, "Broadband Migration III: New
Directions in Wireless Policy" , Remarks at the Silicon Flatirons
Telecommunications Program, University of Colorado at Boulder

The Spectrum Policy Task Force will assist the Commission in identifying
and evaluating changes in spectrum policy that will increase the public
benefits derived from the use of the radio spectrum. The Task Force will:
- Provide specific recommendations to the Commission for ways in which
to evolve the current "command and control" approach to spectrum policy
into a more integrated, market-oriented approach that provides greater
regulatory certainty, while minimizing regulatory intervention.
- Assist the Commission in addressing ubiquitous spectrum issues, including,
interference protection, spectral efficiency, effective public safety
communications, and implications of international spectrum policies.
