Matthew Echols (EDT), Janine Quigley (EDT) Maximizing the Wireless Spectrum for Economic Growth

Annotation

America's future competitiveness and global technology leadership depend, in part, upon the availability of additional spectrum. The world is going wireless, and we must not fall behind. The resurgence of American productivity growth that started in the 1990s largely reflects investments by American companies, the public sector, and citizens in the new communications technologies that are what we know today as the Internet. The Internet, as vital infrastructure, has become central to the daily economic life of almost every American by creating unprecedented opportunities for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. We are now beginning the next transformation in information technology: the wireless broadband revolution. This book explores and examines maximizing the wireless spectrum for economic growth in the new era of global technology leadership.
