In his announcement, Genachowski said, âTo lead the world in mobile, the FCC must ensure that our nationâs spectrum is being put to its highest and best use.â
There is a growing demand and finite amount of spectrum, which includes the entire range of electromagnetic radio frequencies that is used in the transmission of sound, data, and video.
âMaximizing this essential 21st century resource will create jobs, drive economic growth, and encourage innovation and investment. The FCCâs National Broadband Plan lays out a comprehensive roadmap for promoting greater spectrum efficiency and flexibility, and ensuring sufficient spectrum for broadband. The Spectrum Task Force will keep us on this charted course.â
This new task force will be in charge fulfilling the spectrum suggestions set out in the National Broadband Plan.
