ATT Chairman Randall Stephenson mentioned his wireless vigilance conduit firm would run out of spectrum - earlier than many had likely - even with the FCC's efforts to giveaway up airwaves from radio broadcasters.
"The complaint at ATT is that you are right away in many markets coming empty in the spectrum position," he told the Media Institute final week in Washington, DC. "We are in essence running out of capacity. We're out of spectrum."
As Topsy-turvy as the formerly 4 years has been in wireless technologies, Stephenson said, the next 5 years will trump that - "the chic phone subversion has only begun." High-definition video conferencing on mobile gadgets and medical imaging will be commonplace, he said, whilst access to calm will be seamless "across all networks and opposite all devices" on mobile broadband networks.
Like FCC chairperson Julius Genachowski before him, Stephenson done a representation for mobile broadband as the great democratizer of Internet access.
"The people in farming America and tiny towns and middle cities are not going to be excluded," he said.
He appeared to validate the FCC's solicit for a mobility account - allowance the assignment is formulation to set in reserve to finance wireless broadband in its Universal Service Fund reforms.
