Glendale, California Sunroom Desk links on the upcoming FCC Broadband Plan.

Under the Sunroom Desk paperweight are articles on the FCC’s “shot-clock” ruling on cell tower siting, and its progress toward a 2010 National Broadband Plan.

Reports under the Sunroom Desk paperweight focused on the FCC Chair’s remarks to the wireless industry conference in San Diego, admitting the need for more spectrum and towers, but insisting on open internet rules for wired and wireless.

FCC Chair Julius Genachowski promises quick action on the wireless industry “shot clock” petition restricting municipal zoning rights; Glendale, California and other cities are lined up to oppose the petition.

More cell towers and spectrum are needed to keep up with wireless broadband and data usage, which is skyrocketing as smartphones replace cell phones.
