South Dakota Senator John Thune says the Commerce Committee, which he chairs, will be working out details of a plan to reallocate spectrum in an effort to allow the use of more wireless devices. Thune says there could be ten billion wireless devices in use around the world by the year 2020.
Thune says they are working on a plan to expand access…
The government will sponsor a spectrum auction later this year where companies will bid for available frequencies…
Thune says that is a one shot deal…
Thune says the military holds about sixty percent of available spectrum, and that will be another issue they will attempt to deal with.
