Consumer Federation of America Research Director Mark Cooper now will call unlicensed spectrum “public access” spectrum, at the suggestion of House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-California, said Cooper at a WiFiForward event Tuesday (CD May 7 p1). Cooper spoke Wednesday at a New America Foundation event. (See separate story above in this issue.) “I will never use the word unlicensed again,” Cooper said. “When CFA and Darrell Issa agree on something, that ought to be a no-brainer for the FCC."
