Full Plate For New FCC Wireless Chief

Jan 24, 2003

Tom Sugrue lasted longer than any of his predecessors at the helm of the
Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau,
and the bureau made substantial progress on multiple industry and technology
fronts. But when Sugrue's successor, John Muleta, takes over in early February,
he'll be at the helm of an office still sailing on stormy waters.

FCC Chairman Michael Powell announced Thursday that Muleta, president and
CEO of systems integrator Source 1 Technologies and a cofounder of consulting
firm OI Systems, will replace Sugrue, who is resigning after more than four years
on the job. High on Muleta's list of priorities will likely be the re-banding of the 800
MHz band to reduce interference with public safety systems, the allocation of
additional spectrum for wireless services and the decision on whether to allow
mobile satellite service operators to offer cellular terrestrial wireless service within
their assigned bandwidth.
