Geotargeted Radio Involves 'Complicated Issues,' Says Rosenworcel

The FCC’s proceeding on geotargeted radio “presents a range of complicated issues,” said Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel in a reply letter to two Democratic senators posted Monday. The FCC “takes seriously our role protecting against harmful interference and ensuring access to essential public safety information,” said the letter to Connecticut's Richard Blumenthal and Maryland's Ben Cardin. The two had sent a letter to the FCC raising concerns about the proceeding. “Before moving forward, the Commission will carefully review the potential impact of this technology, including whether or not our existing rules provide protections that would apply to this technology,” Rosenworcel said.
