Secretary Don Evans Calls for Repeal of Spectrum Cap
Washington,
DC - In a letter from NTIA Administrator Nancy Victory to FCC
Chairman Michael Powell, the Bush Administration today called for the
full and immediate repeal of commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) spectrum
aggregation limits and cellular cross-interest rules. "Today's cap is
arbitrary and outdated. Technology must be free to advance as fast as
the market demands. The words, 'all circuits are busy' need to be retired
alongside other relics of the industrial age and replaced by the opportunities
and innovations that consumers have come to expect in the 21st century,"
Evans said.
