Performance Measure:<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> Web site views for research publications<br />

NTIA measures the number <strong>of</strong> Web site hits <strong>of</strong> its online research publications. This measure indicates the reception and utility<br />

<strong>of</strong> research results within the spectrum research and engineering community. Many government agencies and private sector<br />

organizations use these research publications to improve effectiveness in the planning, procurement, and configuration <strong>of</strong><br />

systems. This basic research directly benefits the U.S. public through promotion <strong>of</strong> advanced telecommunications and information<br />

infrastructure development in the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong>, enhancement <strong>of</strong> domestic competitiveness, improvement <strong>of</strong> foreign trade<br />

opportunities for U.S. telecommunications firms, and facilitation <strong>of</strong> more efficient and effective use <strong>of</strong> the radio spectrum.<br />
