“We’re Going to Need More Spectrum”

By Brad

Yesterday, our Honorary Chairman Rick Boucher participated in a spectrum event hosted by TechAmerica. The National Journal‘s Juliana Gruenwald was there, and offers a report:

“This is a continual process,” said Boucher, who headed the House Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee before losing re-election in 2010…. “Next on the block for auction to the wireless carriers will probably be re-purposed government spectrum. Don’t know how quickly that will come but to meet the kinds of demands that we see with these predictions from the FCC for mobile data use, we’re clearly going to need more spectrum.”
