Because of expanding commercial and government demand for spectrum, there is increasing debate on how best to manage this resource to meet current and future needs. GAO was asked to examine whether future spectrum needs can be met, given the current regulatory framework; what benefits and difficulties have arisen with the application of market mechanisms to spectrum management; and what barriers exist to reforming spectrum management. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-277/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-277.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-277/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-277.pdf GAO-03-277 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-277 Other Written Product GAO-03-277; Telecommunications: Comprehensive Review of U.S. Spectrum Management with Broad Stakeholder Involvement Is Needed; Radio frequency allocation Strategic planning Telecommunication
