Transition Administrator (TA) Announces Start of Knowledge Sharing Activities
TA Provides Interactive Webinars to Facilitate the Reconfiguration Process
July 18, 2005, McLean, VA. – The TA announces, as part
of its outreach and education efforts, interactive online web-seminars (Webinars) starting July 27, 2005
to 800 MHz licensees impacted by the reconfiguration program. The goal is to further assist licensees
in understanding the guidelines and procedures involved in the reconfiguration
process. Additionally, the TA would like to provide licensees with an open forum
to ask questions, address concerns and interact with reconfiguration experts. The TA will
be offering a series of Webinars that will focus on topics ranging from Planning & Negotiation
to Acceptance of the System.
For the first module in the Webinar series “Planning & Negotiation,” the TA anticipates a high
attendance and as such will be prioritizing seats. The initial Webinars will target Wave 1
licensees who have started the voluntary negotiation process but may be in need of further
assistance and Wave 2 licensees who begin the voluntary negotiation in September.
Subsequent and additional Webinars will be offered during each Wave and will be based on
demand.
Webinars will be offered according to system type – small or large – to ensure that licensees
with common interests can share their issues and concerns. The TA website www.800TA.org will
provide further information regarding system types, Webinars offered, how to download the
Webinar tool and registration. If you have immediate questions or concerns, contact the TA
Webinar team at comments@800TA.org.
