WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS CALL SPECTRUM POLICY OF HIGHEST IMPORTANCE

摘要

Spectrum policy is near the top of the Obama administration's agenda because of its importance to the economy, White House officials said at an NTIA spectrum policy advisory committee meeting. "There could be no more important economic policy goal," said Susan Crawford, special assistant to the president on science and technology policy. "This is what is going to drive our country ahead." The issue is taken "very seriously in the White House," said Andrew McLaughlin, deputy U.S. chief technology officer. Since coming to office, the administration has found that spectrum keeps coming up in "context after context," he said. The administration is starting work on a spectrum inventory plan that Congress may order officials said.
