FCC Chief Pushes Wireless Internet

WASHINGTON (AP) _ The nation's communications chief said
Thursday he wants to spread wireless technology across the country
quickly to revolutionize Americans' daily life, from the Internet
and movies to cars and kitchen appliances.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Federal
Communications Commission Chairman William Kennard said to achieve
that goal, the FCC will auction more slices of the airwaves for
wireless technology and draft new standards for digital TV.
The delivery of Internet access to wireless devices, such as
cellular phones or hand-held computers, opens new doors for
American consumers, he said.
'It's going to further democratize the Internet. It's going to
make it available to people who can't afford a $5,000 PC in their
home,' Kennard said.
To promote that goal, the commission has set a spring date to
auction valuable portions of the airwaves that many companies see
as 'prime real estate' for delivering wireless Internet service
to people on the road and in their homes.
