There is no doubt that more spectrum is needed to meet our Nation's rising demand for wireless services. Conducting the spectrum inventory that this legislation requires is an essential first step.

That baseline should inform the Congress and the commission on decisions regarding spectrum use and possible spectrum reallocation.
