Obama Commits to Auctioning Off 500MHz of Spectrum

Jun 28, 2010, 8:04 AM by Eric M. Zeman

The Obama Administration recently announced that it plans to double the amount of wireless spectrum available for wireless broadband and other wireless services. President Obama plans to sign a presidential memorandum today which will commit the U.S. government to auction off 500MHz of federal and commercial spectrum. National Economic Council director Lawrence H. Summer said in a statement, "This initiative will catalyze private sector investment, contribute to economic growth and help to create hundreds of thousands of jobs." Revenue generated by the auctions will be spent to improve infrastructure, public safety, and reduce budget deficits.
