"I believe that that the biggest threat to the future of mobile in America is the looming spectrum crisis," stated FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. His message of warning was delivered at CTIA Wireless.

The Chairman explained that there will be a 30-fold increase in wireless traffic by 2013.

When the DTV transition was freed, the 700 MHz block increased the wireless spectrum by a multiple of three. That growth rate is too slow for projected levels of consumption.
