Internet Tax Moratorium
Less Regulation and Lower Taxes a Recipe for ProsperityBush Administration Worked to Keep Moratorium in Place – Wrote Key SenatorsCommerce Secretary Evans and Treasury Secretary Snow: “[The Moratorium] will Help Create an Environment for Innovation and Will Ensure that Electronic Commerce Will Remain a Vital and Growing Part of Our Economy”
IPv6
IPv6 Could Pave the Way to New Internet Capabilities; Provides for Improved Security and Reduced Operational Expenses
President Bush's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace Called for an IPv6 Task Force
Co-Chaired by NTIA and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Will Consult with DHS and Other Federal Agencies
Will Seek Public Comment for a Report Due in the Spring of 2004
CybersecurityAdministration’s steps to deal with attacks/challenges: Created the National Cyber Security Division at
DHS Issued Homeland Security Presidential Directives NTIA’s IPv6 Task Force (noted above) U.S. industry has increasingly come forward to
assist in these efforts –e.g, Dell’s decision to sell products with future installed
security settings Overall increased willingness to report cyberattacks
Electronic Numbering (ENUM)
Protocol To Map a Telephone Number from the Public-Switched Telephone Network to the Domain Name System, and Vice Versa
U.S. Supports a Global Tree but has not yet “Opted In” to ENUM Protocol
Implementation Must be Pro-Competitive & Pro-Consumer
Administration Encouraging Industry to Move Forward with Strategy for Domestic Implementation
Several U.S. Companies (Telcordia, SAIC, NeuStar) are Involved with Trials
Spectrum Policy Issues
Spectrum Policy: The Who, What, Where, When, and Why of Access
Great Potential for Government Action Towards a Positive Effect on Economic and National Security
Spectrum Use is Pervasive
Spectrum is Crucial to Economic Security
Spectrum is the basis for many government and non-government services and commercial products. It adds millions of dollars to the economy. Examples:
U.S. Commercial mobile sector: [Source: CTIA] $148 million customers $80 billion annual revenues $134 billion cumulative capital investment Almost 200,000 employees
Wi-Fi: 28 million are using Wi-Fi connections in the U.S. [Source: IDC] Over 20 million wireless LAN chipsets were shipped in 2002 [Source: In
Stat/MDR] By 2008, 95% of notebook PCs will be shipped with a wireless LAN card
[Source: In Stat/MDR]
Challenge to Policymakers
Improvements in processing, battery power and miniaturization portend a technological revolution in communications and the basis for new growth.
The challenge to policymakers is to develop policies that permit dynamic new technologies to flourish while not interfering with valuable incumbent uses.

Spectrum Policy Reform
Basic Legal and Regulatory Framework Unchanged Since 1927 Not Vastly Changed From the Era of the Titanic Technology Stretches the Limits of Usable Spectrum
Current Process Inflexible and Untimely Bifurcated Manual Conflicting Constituencies Technology Brings New Developments Daily
Current Process Add Uncertainty and Cost International Competitiveness Jobs Productivity
Presidential Initiative on Spectrum Reform
Executive Memorandum Released in June, 2003
NTIA Coordinating with Federal Agencies that Use Spectrum and with the FCC to Improve Policies and Procedures of Spectrum Management
Action Plan Due Spring 2004
ConclusionTechnology remains a cornerstone of our economy and Bush Administration Policy.
The Bush Administration continues to satisfy the often conflicting demands of both National and Economic Security.
