President Obama, speaking Thursday at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, detailed his plan to win the future by catalyzing the buildout of high-speed wireless services that will enable businesses to grow faster, students to learn more, and public safety officials to access state-of-the-art, secure, nationwide, and interoperable mobile communications.
According to the President, the Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative will make it possible for businesses to achieve that goal, while freeing up spectrum through incentive auctions, spurring innovation, and creating a nationwide, interoperable wireless network for public safety.
The program focuses on the next generation of high-speed wireless "4G" technology now being deployed in the United States by leading carriers. More than 10 times faster than current high speed wireless services, this technology promises to benefit all Americans, bolster public safety, and spur innovation in wireless services, equipment, and applications.
