Wireless Broadband – The New Focus Of The FCC
Now that the FCC is starting to focus some attention on Wireless Broadband, it is finding the waters just right for a little churning. Congress has put together a plan to have a National Broadband plan in place by February 2010, as a result of this, The FCC is now examining ways to bring access to more Americans, which in turn could create more job opportunities in this technology market.
In light of this new focus, the FCC has asked four wireless tech pros to come on board the FCC Wireless Bureau senior staff in the hope that they can help construct a clear, concise and forward-thinking plan. The individuals were selected for their extensive experience in wireless and broadband. They will work closely with the Obama administration to help develop this policy.
In August the new FCC chairman Julius Genachowski, a former law school classmate of President Barack Obamas, toured California in support of the FCC’s ongoing attempt to craft the nations first broadband plan, putting in appearances at a San Francisco public housing project and a children’s hospital in Palo Alto.
With the goal of Genachowskis trip being a fact finding mission, it was also intended to send a clear message that the FCC is planning a very ambitious proposal for the country’s Broadband infrastructure, along with the 18 broadband hearings the FCC will hold, a plan that goes well beyond giving grants to get YouTube and Twitter to farmers.
This begs the question of whether or not the Obama administration will push for ways to regulate and restrict content, or to simply increase access and opportunities. Of late there has been much concern regarding the fairness doctrine and the recent government attempts to exercise control in many areas in unprecedented fashion, one is left to question just what the agenda may be here, and where it could lead.
Most of the mobile companies would be applauding efforts along these lines, albeit a bit nervously until they see how the plan shakes out. If, however, the agenda proves to be benign, there is a lot of good the FCC could do in regards to increasing accessibility and quality in areas that have up until now been either underserved or not served at all.
