If we don’t act to update our spectrum policies for the 21st century, we’re going to face a spectrum crunch that will stifle American innovation, economic growth, and job creation. The NTIA’s report outlines important short- and long-term approaches for meeting the President’s vital goal of 500 MHz of spectrum for broadband by 2020. We will continue to partner with NTIA and other federal agencies to make the best use of our nation's precious spectrum resource.” --FCC-- News and other information about the FCC is available at www.fcc.gov
