Spectrum Task Force Has Narrow Focus on Broadband Plan Follow-Through

摘要

The FCC's new Spectrum Task Force will aim only to carry out and update the National nBroadband Plan, Wireless Bureau Chief Ruth Milkman said. She said the group won't have npublic meetings or hold workshops, and its goals differ from those of a predecessor at the ncommission. "I haven't spent a lot of time looking back at the Spectrum Policy Task Force, nbut my sense is that that group was set up to do a report and did a report with a lot of ideas," nshe said. "In this case, this is a group of people that have in a sense already been working ntogether on developing a plan for spectrum, which is the spectrum chapter of the National nBroadband Plan. Now we're setting the formalized mechanism to make sure that everything ngets implemented." The task force may spin out new ideas in line with the plan, for example non additional spectrum bands that could be targeted for reallocation for wireless nbroadband, Milkman said. But that won't be the emphasis.
