Last week President Obama outlined a Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative that promises high-speed “4G” mobile broadband for 98% of Americans while raising over $27 billion from spectrum auctions to pay for a nationwide, interoperable public safety network and other innovations. Central to America’s wireless future is the need to double the spectrum capacity currently [...]

LAS VEGAS, NEV. — CTIA — In two completely news-free keynote presentations here at CTIA Tuesday morning, AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega and CEO Randall Stephenson both made a call for additional wireless spectrum — so that future mobile networks in the U.S. don’t run out of breathing room before they even get [...]
