Issues: Technology and Communication
Senator Daniel K. Inouye, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation issued the following statement regarding the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision to revise its 700 MHz band plan:
"The Federal Communications Commission today took important steps to meet the broadband communications needs of first responders and to promote openness and competition in commercial markets. Without question, the decision is not perfect, and admittedly, represents a number of hard-fought compromises by the members of the FCC. However, on balance, I am hopeful that the agreement reached will benefit consumers and serve the public interest."
