FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler at WRC-15 Media Briefing

Tom Wheeler, Chairman of the FCC, speaking at a press briefing November 15 on priorities at the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15). Delegations from over 160 countries are meeting for the month-long conference which is being held November 2-27 in Geneva, Switzerland. Together they will revise and update the world’s Radio Regulations, a treaty that governs the allocation and use of radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbital locations. These mutually agreed regulations affect literally every wireless device and system on Earth (and beyond), from WiFi to weather satellites and everything in between. The United States has sent over 170 experts from every area of industry and government.
