Mini computer support for mobile services frequency coordination

Abstract

An examination of land mobile frequency coordination practices points up the fact that the FCC has been far more aggressive and innovative than the private sector. In addition to discussing some cause and effect implications of these respective actions and inactions, this paper describes a practical mini-computer system which one user organization has attempted to develop as a means of demonstrating the viability of self-regulation, by the private land mobile community, of the frequency management function.
