Kennard Statement • “All of the new technologies -- mobile phones, faxed, wireless computers -- are consuming spectrum faster than we can make it available, and we are in danger of a spectrum drought. We need to find spectrum to build the web of wireless applications that will continue to fuel our economic growth. The demand for spectrum is simply outstripping supply.” dandingroup

Kennard Proposals • Establish as a goal that spectrum become like any other commodity that flows fluidly in the marketplace. • Look to technology to provide better spectrum management tools, for example, ultrawideband and software-defined radios. • Promote greater spectrum efficiency • Changes in relationship to tribal governments
