SENATORS WANT TO FUND COMMUNICATIONS R&D LAB
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Sens Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), the ranking members of the Senate Commerce Committee, have introduced a bill that would fund a communications lab to "restore America’s competitive edge in communications research and development." The Advanced Information and Communications Technology Research Act would authorize $40 million for FY 2008, with that figure upped by $5 million per year through 2012.
