And, over the course of my tenure, many public safety representatives have suggested to me that this band
is not suitable for advanced broadband communications they most need. In the meantime, I can't help but
imagine what may have been had this spectrum been auctioned in 2002. There's no telling what kinds of
innovative services may have developed in this band. We'll never know what could have been, but now
we have an opportunity to make new dreams a reality.
Whatever the reason for the band's woeful underutilization, the good news is that today we are
starting anew and seeking comment on fresh ideas for maximizing the utility of the 4.9 GHz Band. I look
forward to engaging with my colleagues and interested parties and I hope that we will proceed mindful of
the years we've lost. I am eager to put this spectrum into the hands of America's wireless consumers as
quickly as possible.
Thank you to David Furth and the entire team in the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau
for your thoughtful work on this matter.6631
