The original hearing date of January 31 had to be rescheduled because of the Federal furloughs triggered by the congressional budget deadlock and heavy snow which extended the shutdown. The FCC will hear oral presentations and ''allow a direct exchange of viewpoints'' among individuals and representatives of affected industries. The commission will select panelists from among those who have submitted letters of interest. Panelists will address future spectrum demand and user needs, trends in technology, and approaches to spectrum allocation and assignment, including licensing and uses. NNNN /EX
