Sen. Rockefeller Presses for Spectrum Bill
Legislation would set aside spectrum for first responder net
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., was working so hard to sell his spectrum bill during a press conference Tuesday that he all but raised the flag and sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" to it.
Surrounded by co-sponsors of the bill—Sens, Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Amy Klobuchar, D.-Minn., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.—Rockefeller said he is looking to pass the Public Safety Spectrum and Wireless Innovation Act, before the 10th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The bill would set aside a portion of the spectrum for first responders and authorize the Federal Communications Commission to auction off spectrum voluntarily relinquished by TV broadcasters.
