> Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski says  
> there is a looming spectrum crisis, but he appeared Friday to be  
> trying to calm the waters a bit after several weeks of increasing  
> alarm from broadcasters over FCC talks about reclaming their  
> spectrum for wireless broadband. He said that there were a lot ideas  
> being offered up about what the commission could do to address the  
> need for more spectrum. "We haven't said anything about which ideas  
> were the best." He also echoed a point he made earlier in the week  
> at a press conference, which is that this is "a long-term planning  
> issue for the country." It has historically taken the FCC between 6  
> and 13 years to reclaim spectrum, he said. "We know the problem is  
> coming," he said, "It's not coming next week; it's not coming next  
> month; it's not coming next year, but it is coming." And he did say  
> the FCC has to start coming up with the policies to address it now.
