"What happens when every mobile user has an iPhone, a Palm Pre, a Blackberry Tour or whatever the next device is?" asks Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski."What happens when we quadruple the number of subscribers with mobile broadband on their laptops or netbooks?"
"The short answer: we will need a lot more spectrum," he says. So look for the FCC to explore ways to promote spectrum efficiency and use of Wi-Fi, for example.
"Wi-Fi allows carriers to offload to fixed broadband as much as 40 percent of traffic in the home, freeing up capacity of licensed spectrum," he says.
But even efficiency measures do not alleviate the need for more spectrum. So the FCC chairman says he will work on reallocating spectrum currently being used for other purposes.
