Abstract

This paper describes challenges faced by local and state governments in providing advanced technical infrastructure for efficient delivery of public services, under current federal spectrum and telecommunications policy. The potential impact of new wireless communications technologies, particularly cognitive radio and broadband convergence are discussed. Within this context, the spectrum policy issues important to state and local governments are highlighted.
