1. FCC Next-Generation Mapping Presentation: FCC mapping efforts are among the best in government. The Commission will hear a presentation on the latest advancements in mapping at the Commission, including the launch of fcc.gov/maps, and novel use of maps and the latest open source mapping technology to increase transparency across the agency and promote data-driven decision-making to benefit consumers, industry, and developers.
2. White Spaces for Wireless Broadband Presentation: The Commission will hear a progress report by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Office of Engineering & Technology on the development and use of white space technology to unleash more spectrum for wireless broadband.
3. Measuring Broadband America Report 2012 Presentation: The Commission will hear a presentation on the Measuring Broadband America July 2012 Report, which extends the study into more regions and publishes more kinds of data. This latest study of broadband performance in the U.S. follows the Commission’s first-of-its-kind report last year to test and report transparent broadband speed and performance data in collaboration with Internet Service Providers.
