VIDEO: @HouseCommerce #SubCommTech Hearing – Reauthorization of NTIA
by Joly MacFie Feb. 3, 2017

Feb. 3, 2017

Touted as a "holistic" overview, this was indeed a wide-ranging hearing. Witnesses were 3 former Administrators, but not *Larry Strickling* <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrence-strickling-25162/> - presumably now kicking up his heels at some paradisiacal resort after finally *signing off on ICANN* <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/strickling-to-crocker-…>. Topics included: *Trump infrastructure$$*, it was estimated $20 bil will go to broadband; *Spectrum* - agencies will be scrutinized for spare space; *5G *- shorter wavelengths will require many more pole attachments, rollout is anticipated to begin in 2020, *ICANN *- the giving up of oversight frees up the US to be partisan! e.g. argue that .amazon should go to the US company. Also suggested was that the Administrator should be given a power upgrade from "Assistant Secretary" to "Secretary". The post, and Deputy, are *currently vacant* <https://www.ntia.doc.gov/offices>,. joly posted: "On Thursday January 2 2016, the U.S. House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing - Reauthorization of NTIA - in Washington DC.

Established in 1978, the *National Telecommunications and Information Administration <https://www.ntia.doc.gov/>* (NTIA) and its administrator were tasked with serving as the president’s principal advisor on communications policy. The NTIA administrator serves as the coordinator of government spectrum allocations, and voice of the administration at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and in Congress. Despite NTIA’s important role on communications and information policy, it has not been reauthorized since 1992. Members discussed NTIA’s role moving forward in the efficient use of federally held spectrum, its role in broadband deployment, and its role in promoting safe, secure communications networks.
