                DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
                Antitrust Division
                Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and
                Production Act of 1993--Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, Inc.
                 Notice is hereby given that, on September 1, 2020, pursuant to
                Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of
                1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Dynamic Spectrum Alliance,
                Inc. (``DSA'') has filed written notifications simultaneously with the
                Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing (1) the
                identities of the parties to the venture and (2) the nature and
                objectives of the venture. The notifications were filed for the purpose
                of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust
                plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances.
                 Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act, the identities of the parties
                to the venture are: Broadcom Corporation, San Jose, CA; Federated
                Wireless, Inc., Arlington, VA; Gigabit Libraries Network, Sausalito,
                CA; Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, Santa Clara, CA;
                Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA; and New America, Palo Alto, CA.
                 The general area of DSA's planned activity is to (a) promote the
                adoption of laws and regulations that increase dynamic access to unused
                radio spectrum (``Spectrum''); (b) support efforts to gain a better
                understanding of Spectrum use around the world; (c) be technology-
                neutral and support regulations allowing for the coexistence of a
                variety of technology platforms; (d) support making unused Spectrum
                available for dynamic Spectrum access in licensed, license-exempt
                (unlicensed), and lightly licensed Spectrum bands; (e) support dynamic
                Spectrum access across a variety of complementary Spectrum bands; (f)
                support the use of geolocation databases and other interference
                protection mechanisms; (g) support globally harmonized dynamic access
                to unused Spectrum; (h) support long-term efforts to develop
                regulations making dynamic Spectrum access the default mode of access
                to radio spectrum, with technical rules that address legitimate
                interference concerns; and (i) undertake such other activities as may
                from time to time be appropriate to further the purposes and achieve
                the goals set forth above.

                Chief, Premerger and Division Statistics, Antitrust Division.
