Genachowski comments re: TV Bands
June 25th, 2009
Maria Cantell (D-WA) wanted a progress report about the FCC’s decision to authorize the use of unlicensed “white space” devices. She called the authorization a “conservative start, but it was a start.” Will Genachowski prioritize testing to make sure the technology can roll out relatively soon?
“Senator, the answer is yes,” Genachowski replied. “I’m glad that you are mentioning another example of creative use of spectrum to advance the overall goals of the Communications Act.”
It’s clear that this Congress expects a lot of change at the FCC, and it expects its new chairman to deliver.
