NEWS RELEASE from the United States Department of Defense No. 007-02 
IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 4, 2002 (703)697-5131(media)
(703)697-5737(public/industry) Price named new deputy for spectrum, C3 policy 


Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld announced today the creation of an 
office to establish policy in the area of command, control and communications 
and provide direction for DoD frequency spectrum issues.  Steven Price was 
named deputy assistant secretary of defense (DASD) for Spectrum and C3 
Policy, reporting to Assistant Secretary of Defense John P. Stenbit. 

This is the first time spectrum issues have been raised to the DASD level.  
As DoD's use of the electromagnetic spectrum for communications grows, it 
increasingly runs into potential competition, interference and coordination 
requirements for international and commercial frequencies.  The Department's 
long-standing bands of spectrum are critical to meeting the needs of the 
warfighter yet also are considered prime by investors in third generation and 
ultrawideband device markets. 

Over the past decade, the government has ceded 247 Mhz of bandwidth to 
industry - more than half in the desirable 3 GHz band.  Maintenance of 
sufficient spectrum and bandwidth is essential to network centric warfare and 
information superiority, two key transformational tenets of joint operations 
like Enduring Freedom. Price says his vision is to "help DoD build a global 
secure wide-band network, with wireless access, for warriors in the field so 
that bandwidth does not limit or impede U.S. military capability.  

Transforming towards a network centric military that decentralizes 
decision-making by allowing access to information anytime, anywhere and 
without concerns of bandwidth or interoperability will help create the 
flexible, reliable and effective joint command and control systems that will 
be needed in the future." 

Price came to DoD from LiveWire, a provider of software and outsourcing 
services where he was president and CEO.  He is a lawyer by profession with 
degrees from Brown University, where he graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta 
Kappa, and Columbia University School of Law.  His previous experience in 
government was as a special assistant to the U.S. ambassador to the START 
Talks, under President George H.W. Bush.
