WASHINGTON-National Telecommunications and Information head Michael Gallagher announced the creation of the spectrum management advisory committee. The committee plans to advise the Commerce Department on key elements of President Bush’s spectrum policy initiative for improving management of the nation’s airwaves.
“State-of-the-art research and innovative product development have made the United States a global leader in communications technology,” said Gallagher. “Through this advisory committee, innovators and experts from industry and government will have direct involvement in implementing recommendations that will ensure the U.S. remains a world leader.”
The deadline for submitting nominations is November 28, 2005, 30 days from publication in the Federal Register.
The Bush administration is months behind in issuing the president’s spectrum reform implementation plan.
