New Advocacy Group Enlightens Decision-Makers To The Bright Possibilities Of Television Spectrum

SpectrumEvolution.org is a new advocacy group, whose mission is to promote fair, plausible and intelligent broadcast spectrum policy, with a focus on how spectrum policy issues raised in the National Broadband Plan will impact all broadcasters, especially Class A, Low Power TV (“LPTV”), and TV Translator stations. As our name indicates, we believe that spectrum use should “evolve” and be driven primarily by private entrepreneurial creativity and marketplace forces – not by government officials who pick winners and losers by opening and closing regulatory gates according to their own notion of what is best for the people of our country.
