Genachowski : TVBand Devices a Priority
June 25th, 2009
Another area ripe for innovation is the mobile space, he said. “I believe we have an opportunity for the U.S. to lead the world in mobile.”
Genachowski was responding to a question about white spaces, areas between TV channels that have been freed up since the digital TV transition and that companies like Microsoft and Google want to use for wireless broadband purposes.
He pledged to make sure the development of white spaces devices was a priority within the Office of Engineering and Technology at the FCC. There is the chance to “take full advantage in this country of the opportunity that spectrum use allows,” he said.
