500 megahertz of federal spectrum must be found for reallocation
What the document says“The Assistant Secretary, in consultation with the Commission, shall identify 500 megahertz of frequencies in the covered band for reallocation to non-Federal use, shared Federal and non-Federal use, or a combination thereof”
The section requires the Assistant Secretary, consulting the Commission, to identify 500 megahertz in the covered band that were allocated for federal use at enactment, for reallocation to non-federal use, shared use or both, for full-power commercial licensed use cases. At least 200 megahertz must be identified within two years and the rest within four. In choosing frequencies the Assistant Secretary must judge the feasibility of reallocation, assessing net revenue potential and relocation or sharing costs, with the goal of maximizing net auction proceeds for the Treasury consistent with section 309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934.
What the document actually says“The Assistant Secretary, in consultation with the Commission, shall identify 500 megahertz of frequencies in the covered band for reallocation to non-Federal use, shared Federal and non-Federal use, or a combination thereof”
The Assistant Secretary must find 500 megahertz to hand over. It may go to private use, to shared use, or to both. The Commission must be consulted.
The spectrum must be in federal hands now. At least 200 megahertz must be found within two years. The rest must be found within four.
