Tonight, our conversation with Tennessee Republican senator bob corker when his early career in business. I had come in, started working like most folks when i was 13 doing all kinds of odds and ends, a construction laborer in kind of a rough carpenter when i graduate from college. I ended up being a construction superintendent. So after about four years, i have built some reasonable malls around the country and learned how to build projects, and i saved 8000. So when i was 25, i went in business. And i started doing a lot of repeat work, Small Projects like to get paid quickly. The company grew at about 80 a year the whole time, ended up building Shopping Centers around the country, retail projects in 18 states. So it was an energizing, a great place to be. I mean, the energy when you come in the front door it would almost knock you down. And i sold that when i was 37, to a young man who had worked with me for many, many years, and then, of course, have done several things since there
I say that facetiously in the same direction. I have never seen closer alignment on the federal side and the non federal side with the appreciation we need to find ways to accommodate all of the innovative ideas, the growth and challenging the need for more spectrum, and they check their smart phones and get into the car, checking at home and so forth and what you saw on the screen, the Driverless Cars a little bit farther out but things where you get up in the morning and the device is checking how you are doing today, do you need to go in and get a checkup . This is enabling all sorts of new applications that will improve our lives in the economy. I want to say a few words about the tech talk, what we have been learning as we have gone through this process you heard reference a few times, just for some of you who may not be as focused on the details, why this is important, it is a piece thats adjacent to one of the major broadbands, a w. S. 1, we already have in our portfolio on the
Countries as laboratories but as collaborators too. As jenna said, this is a Global Spectrum environment, and pretty much you need to be on the same page. But at the same time, you know, let others to kind of take the lead and see if it works out and maybe follow with that. Thats a good approach too. Great. So at the technical level theres a lot of work going on internationally. Universities and so forth. So you go to a conference, as peter and i and im sure theres others here go to, called dice band which has been going on ten years . 2005, yeah. Yeah. Its a bit surprising how much work is going on on dynamic spectrum access around the world. And, you know, the normal process is you first see these things in the laboratories and in the universities, and then assuming they still have merit, they bubble their way up through the policy ranks. So ill just focus on a couple of things. Tv white space in the database model that we adopted here in the United States, its been embraced already
