The conference featured high-profile speakers from the FCC, Industry Canada, COFETEL, ITU, and other regulators from across the Americas and beyond, as well as senior representatives from the communications industry and manufacturers. NERA Senior Vice President Dr. Chantale LaCasse opened the conference and introduced the keynote presentations, and also chaired a debate on use of the valuable 700 MHz band for mobile broadband across the Americas. In addition, Senior Vice President Richard Marsden chaired the sessions on spectrum auctions, including a discussion of the use of new tools in spectrum auction design, such as package bidding and generic lots, and a lively debate on the FCC's plans to use incentive auctions to redistribute spectrum from broadcasting to mobile broadband.
