Tuesday Panel to Explore ‘Grand Bargain’ on Broadcast Spectrum
A proposal to return much of the spectrum used by commercial television broadcasters is gaining some mindshare in Washington telecommunications circles.

The spectrum to be auctioned off could fulfill a coming need for spectrum to be used by the burgeoning wireless broadband industry.
