| | Defense Communications: Federal Frequency Spectrum Sale Could Impair Military Operations (Letter Report, 06/17/97, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | An Air Force frequency management official told us that in prior years, many spectrum managers were not properly cleared to discuss the technical issues of frequency management in classified programs and managers of these classified programs were reluctant to talk to spectrum managers about frequency use requirements. |
 | | First, DOD has a study underway to determine its frequency requirements; but until that study is completed, it is not in a position to fully assess the implications of the 1993 act or future legislative actions to transfer additional federal spectrum to non-federal users. |
 | | We are concerned that the lack of coordination between FCC and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on frequency sharing may exacerbate the problem of potential interference between federal and nonfederal users of the frequency spectrum or, at a minimum, not serve to help overcome that problem. |
