President Orders Review of Wireless Spectrum
By STEPHEN LABATON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 — With growing congestion of the airwaves threatening the development of a new generation of handheld wireless devices, President Clinton today ordered the Federal government to review and then reassign wide swaths of the spectrum now controlled by such agencies as the Defense Department, as well as by private companies.

My Two Cents Dept. - This appears to be an intelligent move on the part of the Administration regarding the use of spectrum. I hope that they have the wisdom to try to better co-ordinate with the UMTS spectrum allocation than we've done in the past with AMPS and GSM systems. While free markets are to be applauded, a bit of direction from the top sure could help to avoid some of the manufacturing headaches and waste brought about by dual and triple mode phones.

The NYT article mentions "A report published today by the White House Counsel of Economic Advisers". I'm wondering if anyone has been able to locate this as a URL? I'm frustrated as usual by trying to navigate government websites....

Best, Ray
