FCC forced to give way to the private sector
June 12, 2003
Federal Communication Commission Chairman Michael K. Powell announced
a Task Force to better manage the nation's radio spectrum for use in 3G
mobile communication on growing demands from the private sector.
A spokesman from the FCC said Mr Powell "expressed his strong support
for the spectrum policy reform and modernisation" for use in the private
sector. Currently the frequency bands that can be use for next generation
video phones are owned by the Department of Defense but never have been
used and for years resisted giving it up to commercial services.
Two years ago, the private sectors pressured Congress to free up the
3G frequency bands for commerical use that could offer video calls and
high-end data applications for consumers. Under the pressure of the powerful
mobile phone lobby group, Chairman Powell gave way and said the proper
use of "the radio spectrum is a key driver of economic growth." He announced
a new Task Force to look into the issue of selling the 3G frequency bands
to the private sector and better use of the spectrum.
The Task Force will give recommendations within one year.
Commerce Secretary Don Evans said the effort would be the first comprehensive
study of government radio spectrum policy in the modern era for 3G use
and will build on previous administration efforts to improve spectrum
management for the private sector.
