FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel: “We’re going to need new airwaves for 6G and what comes beyond. And it takes some time to plan for those airwaves, repurpose them for commercial use.”
The Examiner spoke with Rosenworcel about the agency’s approach to deepfakes, the state of broadband competition, the rollout of 5G wireless services and modernizing the laws undergirding the agency’s authority. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. We worked with a bunch of state attorneys general to conclude the Telephone Consumer Protection Act applies. It’s a law from 1991, but it deals with artificial and prerecorded voices, and AI voice-cloning technology is an artificial and pre-recorded voice.
But if, instead of using the phone networks, they had used Zoom, say, or put videos on YouTube, would the FCC have authority? It’s starting to develop. For instance, the emergence of fixed-wireless systems, I think, is providing some real competitive pressure on a lot of incumbent broadband providers today.Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel speaking at the 7th Annual Berkeley Law School AI Institute, in the International House, UC Berkeley on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024.
There’s a lot of conversations I’m in about 6G, but to me, 6G is really not about the next generation of technology. It’s when we get to a point where we’re capacity constrained on 5G and need to start thinking about what new technologies can assist us with the new loads.If you go back and look at history, you’ll find that about every 10 years, we get a new generational wireless service. It’s a model that almost holds. So, I would say by 2030.
The Humboldt Bank project, which was initially unveiled in January and has now secured financing, is a rare example of an advancing office-to-residential conversion effort in The City, despite official support from local government and voter approval in March of a tax-break measure for transfers involving such projects.
To help make that a reality, Breed and Supervisor Matt Dorsey have introduced a proposed ordinance that would waive development-impact fees and inclusionary-housing requirements for such downtown developments to eliminate costs that typically amount to between $70,000 and $90,000 per housing unit. Gensler has been a vigorous advocate for the idea of reusing office buildings in San Francisco and other cities, arguing that among other things, mixed-use downtowns are more resilient to economic changes.
He also tipped his hat to PG&E for agreeing to leave existing building systems in place, thus saving millions in conversion costs.Starting next year, Ting’s legislation, which was backed by the Bay Area Council, will empower city leaders to establish downtown-revitalization and economic-recovery financing districts, through which developers could get some property taxes returned to them for 30 years.
Peskin issued a statement Monday applauding Forge Development for its progress on the Humboldt Bank project and saying he is exploring ways to use the bonds his ordinance authorized for various types of projects, including for office-to-residential conversions. “An individual certified as an EMT may be able to deliver care while not under the medical control of a medical director, so long as they have another form of healthcare license or certificate,” the Department of Emergency Management said in a statement to The Examiner. “However, the EMT Certificate cannot be the sole authority to deliver care under EMT scope of practice in a fixed facility.
The Department of Public Health directed HealthRight 360 to review staffing at SoMa RISE to ensure all state requirements are met and all workers are properly credentialed. Earlier this summer, public-health officials asked the Controller’s Office to bring in an independent expert to assess oversight of the nonprofit.
“We have a great working relationship with all of our city departments, and agencies — an open-door policy,” he said. “So to find out that there was an investigation taking place that we weren’t aware of, threatening to impact the livelihood of our workers, it was bizarre and hurtful.”
