The Obama Wireless
Telephone®© Commitment
EASILY . . . the thrill ride
of the Summer will be the Obama Commitment Spectrum
Increase. Under the new June - 2010 Obama Wireless
Telephone®© Commitment, plans are
now in the works to make over 500 megahertz of
spectrum available to the highest bidder -- during
the next 10 years.
"Mobile phone companies, like AT&T, Verizon,
and Sprint praise the comment. However," says NBS
WiTEL®© spokesman, Mark Anderson
says, "existing Radio-TV broadcasters, may resist
giving up some of their spectrums for
WiTEL®© broadband play assigned
telephone numbers."
President Obama signed a memorandum Monday that was
committed to double the current amount of airwaves
available for WiTEL®© devices over
the next 10 years, a move intended to create jobs
and boost investment in the mobile phone
market.
02. "KINGSBURY COMMITMENT" --
EMW SPECTRUMS
Q - Where Did The U.S. Get The
Radio Specrums In The First Place? . . . asked
Radio-TV industry executives.
A - The availability of the
first wireless EMW spectrums to the general public
was first made possible by the Kingsbury
Commitment, in 1910. The Specrums were seized by
U.S.A. Regulatory Seizure. CLICK

The same EMW spectrums assigned to broadcasters
since the "KINGSBURY COMMITMENT -- will once again
be seized, but this time, for $$ considerations.
When assigned from TV broadcaster to Mobile phone
companies, like AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, the
assigned spectrums will provided those phone
companies with faster delivery of data and video
onto smart phones and other next-generation G-4
devices.
The
Obama WiTEL®© Commitment calls for
--
500 megahertz of government and
commercial spectrum to be made available over the
next 10 years. The Federal Communications
Commission made the same recommendation in its
National Broadband Plan released in March. In the
nation's largest cities, such as New York and Los
Angeles, local TV stations use only about 150 MHz,
according to the FCC's National Broadband Plan.
The
LA Times reported on June 29th, that the; "The
initiatives endorsed will spur economic growth,
promote private investment and drive U.S. global
leadership in broadband innovation," FCC Chairman
Julius Genachowski said. "Spectrum is the oxygen of
wireless, and the future of our mobile economy
depends on spectrum recovery and smart spectrum
policies."
Rep. Edward J. Markey
(D-Mass.) said --
that he would be introducing another
bill to make the 500 MHz available.
Wireless telecommunications companies will be able
to acquire some of this public spectrum in a
government auction. Some of the revenues will be
used to create a nationwide public safety network
that is intended to keep communications running in
an emergency, which was a recommendation of the
9/11 Commission.
With the rising populartiy of smart phones,
netbooks and other WiTEL®© devices,
the amount of data sent over wireless networks is
higher than ever and continues to grow each year.
Because of this, wireless phone companies need more
spectrum to accommodate this glut of data and avoid
a "spectrum crunch," White House economic advisor
Lawrence H. Summers said.
"In
recent years, the amount of information flowing
over some wireless networks has grown at over 250%
per year," Summers said in a speech Monday at the
New America Foundation, a Washington think tank.
"There is no policy step more important for the
digital infrastructure than assuring that scarce
spectrum is efficiently allocated."

Wireless
Telephone®© Companies, Including
AT&T
and Sprint Nextel Corp., lauded the
administration's plan, saying it would help them
manage the deluge of data traveling across their
networks. AT&T Senior Vice President Jim
Cicconi called the move "both encouraging and
timely."
"At AT&T, we are already dealing with
phenomenal increases in mobile broadband use
&emdash; a whopping 5,000% over the last three
years," Cicconi said.
Broadcasters, However, Weren't As
Enthusiastic.
The federal government will look to local TV
broadcast stations to give up some of their
airwaves, which they won't relinquish easily. The
FCC's National Broadcast Plan called for local
broadcasters to make 120 MHz of their spectrum
available.
"We
appreciate FCC assurances that further reclamation
of broadcast television spectrum will be completely
voluntary, and we're convinced that America can
have both the finest broadband and broadcasting
system in the world without jeopardizing the future
of free and local TV service to tens of millions of
viewers," said Dennis Wharton, executive vice
president of the National Broadcasters Assn.
