The National Association of Broadcasters says the FCC's Chief of Technical Analysis, Robert Weller, is joining the organization on July 28. NAB CEO Gordon Smith recognizes the importance of having Weller on the team, as the NAB battles the FCC on the spectrum issue. "NAB is excited to add someone of Bob's caliber to our spectrum policy staff. His expertise regarding broadcast spectrum issues and his knowledge of regulatory policy will be valuable resources as the Commission moves forward on proceedings affecting broadcasting's future."
Since 2008, Weller has led the FCC's group tasked with rulemaking and analysis of spectrum policy areas, including radio propagation, interference, RF safety, frequency allotments, and new technologies. He has also served as the technical lead on broadcast coverage and interference issues during the Commission's broadcast spectrum incentive auction proceeding.
