Balancing the Needs of Our Communities in
Our Spectrum Future

March 12th | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOW AN ONLINE-ONLY EVENT.
DIAL-IN INFORMATION WILL BE SENT AFTER YOU RSVP.

The Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council (MMTC) invites you to join us via teleconference for Part 2 of our series on the future of spectrum policy. In this session, MMTC is joined by experts from industry and consumer advocacy groups to discuss what’s on the table at the FCC for mid-band spectrum allocation – including the C-Band, 6 GHz, and 5.9 GHz – and the potential impacts on our nation’s marginalized communities.

  • How will spectrum reallocation impact the digital divide and broadband access for underserved communities, both urban and rural? 
  • What potential is there to provide opportunities for these groups? 
  • How will it impact our nation’s economy? 

Join us to learn about the potential impact on urban and rural communities and what’s at stake in the FCC’s spectrum proceedings.
