Possibilities for future personal radio services

Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission's Personal Radio Planning Group (PRPG) has completed a study of available future alternatives for personal radio services. A summary of the analyses conducted by the PRPG in ten areas of interest is presented, followed by a description of six possible future scenarios. The scenarios are then evaluated using the tools developed in the analytical tasks, and results are given. The advantages of the scenarios are then compared to illustrate the tradeoffs involved in the basic policy decisions that must be made.
