> TECHNOLOGICAL ADVISORY COUNCIL TO HOLD FOURTH MEETING
>
>
> The Technological Advisory Council ("Council"), will hold its fourth
> meeting on Friday, March 24, at 10:00 a.m. at the Federal Communications
> Commission, 445 12th St. S.W., Room TW-C305, Washington, D.C. 20554.
> The Council was established by the Federal Communications Commission to
> enable a wide array of distinguished technologists from industry,
> academia, government, and the public to provide recommendations to the
> FCC concerning technological developments  in the communications
> industry.
>
> The subjects that will be considered include: (1) the current state of
> the art for software defined radios, cognitive radios, and similar
> devices; future developments for these technologies, and ways that the
> availability of such technologies might affect the FCC's traditional
> approaches to spectrum management in light of existing and future
> electromagnetic noise levels; (2) current technological trends in
> telecommunications services, including changes that might decrease,
> rather than increase, the accessibility of telecommunications services
> by persons with disabilities, and ways by which the FCC might best
> communicate to designers of emerging telecommunications network
> architectures, the requirements for accessibility; (3)
> telecommunications common carrier network interconnection scenarios that
> are likely to develop, including the technical aspects of cross network
> (i.e., end-to-end) interconnection, quality of service, network
> management, reliability, and operations issues, as well as the
> deployment of new technologies such as dense wave division multiplexing
> and high speed packet/cell switching; (4) additional issues that the
> Council may choose to address in the future.
>
> The Council may also consider such other issues as may come before the
> Council at the meeting.
> Members of the general public may attend the meeting.  Admittance,
> however, will be limited to the seating available. Brief oral comments
> to the Council may be made with prior notice to, and approval by,  the
> Federal Communications Commission's Designated Federal Officer for the
> Technological Advisory Council, David Farber (e-mail: DFARBER@FCC.GOV).
