Former FBI Director To Join Wireless Company

Louis Freeh is a former United States’ FBI Director who seems to know where the money could come. Also pretending that his plan would represent the best change for the United States’ safety agencies to get a much needed interoperable communications system, the former FBI Director has already endorsed a wireless spectrum auction proposal from Frontline Wireless LLC.

Louis Freeh is however just supporting the start-up wireless company, but their proposal is a part of a major plan to bid on the valuable wireless airwaves at the upcoming auction by the Federal Communications Commission. Louis Freeh and Frontline Wireless LLC’s plan would be one of the many such plans related to the upcoming auction, in which everybody is very interested.

As the TV broadcasters are to abandon part of their traditional airwaves spectrum, because of their systems becoming digital systems, the phone companies have been hoping to gain access to the new spectrum and to eventually be able to offer a third way for their clients to get high-speed Internet access and other services. But the Federal Communications Commission’s chief has already proposed some rules for the upcoming auction that seems to have already banned the phone companies’ idea.

In this context, Louis Freeh has seen his chance to launch a business that would also create a much-needed wireless network for the United States’ safety agencies. Between 1991 and 1993 Louis Freeh was a federal judge in Manhattan and then he was the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s director till 2001.

He represents, however, just the latest “acquisition” of Frontline Wireless LLC, who has been joined by several other former government officials that are hoped by the company to support its effort to bolster its proposal for the 700-megahertz band airwaves auction. Mark Fowler and Reed Hundt are two of these men that Frontline has recruited; they both are two former FCC chairmen.

The auction by FCC is expected to hold later this year. Till then several group are fiercely lobbying trying to make their voices heard by the FCC’s officials.
