WCA Praises FCC Chairman's Record23 January 2005
Andrew Kreig, president of the Wireless Communications Association International (WCA), today commended the service of Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael K. Powell:
"He has been a steadfast advocate of policies that the wireless broadband
industry believes are vital to bringing benefits to consumers. Chief among
them is making more commercial spectrum available with flexible use, relying
on market forces. This has had a highly beneficial impact for both license
exempt and licensed providers, and ultimately their customers.
"His legacy in advocating for broadband is keenly appreciated by those in
the wireless broadband industry. Among his achievements are opposing undue
restrictions on advanced new technologies; fostering the historic rebanding of
commercial and educational spectrum at 2.5-2.7 GHz; eliminating unnecessary
rules limiting deployment of license exempt services; advocating for more
license exempt spectrum in the 5 GHz band and elsewhere; approving innovative
rules for high-capacity deployments at 70+ GHz; vigorous advocating services
in rural and other underserved regions; and leadership in safeguarding the
security of advanced networks in the post-9/11 era.
"Our industry appreciated especially his deep personal enthusiasm for
advanced technologies, and for the entrepreneurs who bring these services to
fruition. We shall miss him, and we wish him well."
