I like how the government thinks ten years is fast. How about this time next year? This seems like a fancy way of saying they will put this on the backburner and it might get done... Someday.
@gfrantz You need to realize it takes time, resources and collaboration to make sure spectrum available except if it is current unused. Organizations need to order equipment, put out RFPs, bids, schedule with vendors who may need to provide custom solutions; the list goes on.
Also, you have to consider laws that mandate how public institutions must interact to get this spectrum swap completed. There has to be transparency to avoid/limit any appearance of favoritism or discrimination, etc. When you begin to consider all these hurdles, 10 years does not seem that long.
It is good for the industry and consumers that the WH is focusing on high speed broadband as a resource that everyone can have access to.

You must be talking about some other country, because the United States is not a "democracy."

That is the saddest thing I've ever heard...

I guess you're in support of Dictatorships, seeing as they are the most efficient.
