Summary Box: FCC plan seeks more wireless spectrum
THE PROPOSAL: The Federal Communications Commission outlined a proposal that would allow television broadcasters and others that hold wireless spectrum to voluntarily give back some of those airwaves.
WHERE THE SPECTRUM WOULD GO: The government would auction off the spectrum to wireless companies to deliver mobile broadband services.
WHAT IS DRIVING THIS: Cutting-edge wireless devices that allow users to access online video and other applications require a lot of network bandwidth.
