Wednesday - 02/01/12 Incentive Auctions & TV Broadband
Service
As the government looks for new revenues
sources, spectrum auctions threaten the
allocation for White Space.
The question has to be asked “Is the White
Barlow Keener Jim Carlson Space spectrum safe?”
Is there an opportunity for over the air TV
stations to jump into the White Spaces
spectrum and deliver metrowide
broadband service?
Is the TV Reallocation legislation creating
insecurity for White Spaces
Marty Stern Aparna Sridhar investors, service providers, and
equipment vendors?

8. 1:00-1:45pm White Spaces Backhaul: What is the
Thursday - 02/02/12 Opportunity
Cellular backhaul is a bottleneck for Cellco’s.
If there is no cable company or fiber provider
near the new LTE radios or at the existing
towers, cellco’s are left with building fiber
or paying for expensive special access.
White Spaces is unlicensed and can blast
Barlow Keener Jim Carlson through trees and foliage. With a large
budget for backhaul and limited
competitors, White Spaces radio vendors
may have their first and most significant
revenue opportunity in the form of selling
backhaul to Cellcos.
Is White Spaces the new alternative for cellco
backhaul?
Robert Wu The panel will talk about cellco deployments
of White Spaces for backhaul in rural
areas.

Friday - 02/03/12
The Government wants to hold
another spectrum auction, but
the reality is that the
technology is making
Steve Coran Aparna Sridhar spectrum use more dynamic.
The future of spectrum can be
found not only in the use of

technologies of 4G, 5G and
Marty Stern Michael Calabrese beyond can be deployed.
