| Statement by Assistant Secretary Michael D. Gallagher on the FCC's Ultrawideband Action |
||||||||
| "President Bush has charged us with creating an environment where
entrepreneurs and innovators can flourish -- and today's FCC order does
just that. The United States continues to lead the world in
ultrawideband technology. Ultrawideband devices have the power to
change people's lives whether they are in their living rooms or their
automobiles. Today's ruling speeds the arrival of the day when
passenger cars come equipped with radars that prevent accidents. The
FCC has provided the certainty new technologies need for growth and
development, and at the same time maintains protection for restricted
bands that serve vital and sensitive purposes, such as earth exploration
and radio astronomy."
