Nokia applauds FCC decision to require "open access" for U.S. 700MHz spectrum
Decision to benefit consumers by promoting greater competition and innovation in U.S. wireless industry
Helsinki, Finland - Nokia applauds the FCC's decision to implement rules requiring a portion of the 700MHz spectrum being auctioned next year to be made available for "open access" for devices and services. This decision represents an acknowledgement by the FCC that U.S. consumers should have access to a broader choice of innovative wireless devices and services.
"Nokia believes that the Commission's rules are an important step towards meeting consumer demand and driving further innovation as mobility and the Internet converge," said Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. "We commend the FCC and Chairman Martin for taking the initiative to promote even greater competition and innovation in the U.S. wireless industry."
Recognizing that all consumers have a need to communicate and share, Nokia is dedicated to offering a wide choice of mobile devices to consumers around the world. These innovative products include everything from simple, rugged phones that bridge the digital divide for first-time owners in emerging markets to fully-featured devices that deliver e-mail, music and video, GPS navigation, television and more to an increasingly connected and mobile population.
