"Spectrum Bridge is delivering a powerful value proposition for spectrum holders with its SpecEx marketplace. The site’s new online transaction capabilities make it easier for me to put my spectrum listing in front of interested qualified buyers, while making it easier for them to buy it. The ability to sell our excess 700 MHz, SMR and AMTS spectrum using a single online marketing and trading platform simplifies our business by letting us focus on our core network operations."

Thomas Kurian, CEO, American Wireless, Inc.

“SpecEx provides spectrum holders like MCLM with unique access to qualified buyers, while at the same time lowering our transaction costs when compared to traditional spectrum brokers. The SpecEx online marketplace is going to fuel the wireless industry in terms of access to spectrum and development of new wireless devices and services.”

John Reardon, President and CEO, MCLM

“UTC is excited about the Spectrum Bridge partnership and the possibilities it brings for our members, as well as all of our spectrum customers. SpecEx can help utilities meet various spectrum needs, from narrowbanding to smart grid implementation, and will benefit our other customers with similar expansion needs."

William R. Moroney, President and CEO, United Telecom Council

“SpecEx is a major game-changer. Once your spectrum license is issued by the FCC, you can virtually hold it forever, unless you violate the FCC rules. Most of the time, people buy spectrum for a purpose. But purposes change. People are going to come here [to SpecEx] and realize that they can re-purpose their spectrum.”

Stephen Marcus, Managing Director, Marcus Holdings

“Earlier this year, Jonathan Large, a member of the Patrick County Board of Supervisors, testified before the Subcommittee I chair about the need for broadband service in rural communities like Claudville. I am pleased that Spectrum Bridge, Dell, Microsoft and the TDF Foundation are presenting an innovative and promising solution by providing high-speed Internet services to the residents of Claudville through white space technology. I hope that Claudville will become a model for delivering broadband services to more rural communities in a cost-effective manner in the future.”

Congressman Rick Boucher, Virginia

“We have been working for many years to help the people of Claudville get high-speed data services that urban areas take for granted. The citizens here are directly benefiting from the digital dividend created by availability of TV white spaces frequencies. Being able to leverage a TV white spaces network that covers Claudville’s residential, business and the surrounding areas is a major step towards meeting this goal.”

Roger Hayden, Director of Claudville Computer Center, Chairman of the Patrick County Broadband Task Force

"Thanks to innovative leaders such as Dell, Microsoft, Spectrum Bridge and the TDF Foundation, Virginia students in every corner of the Commonwealth have a chance at a 21st century learning experience. Broadband access in particular has the potential to dramatically improve quality of life for our citizens while ensuring our students have the tools they need to succeed. My thanks to Congressman Boucher for his continued leadership and commitment to advancing the lives of the citizens of Southwest Virginia.”

Governor Timothy M. Kaine, Virginia

 “White spaces technology can open the door to future Smart Network applications by providing government more real time information at a lower cost to our citizens and environment. “This is an example of technology offering us the tools to operate the City more efficiently and effectively. For example, our Traffic Division can use the technology to manage signals and monitor vehicle flow without the costs and disruption of running additional fiber or cables. We would like to thank TV Band Service and Spectrum Bridge for selecting our community for this experimental white spaces network."

Bill Saffo, Mayor of Wilmington, NC

“Building upon our current information technology investments, TV white spaces will help the County make the most efficient use of our existing resources and infrastructure. It is allowing us to extend video and data connectivity to areas that were once outside of the bounds of current technology due to cost or environmental concerns. For example, we are now able to deploy video cameras and WiFi in our parks, which increases both security and enjoyment for our residents and tourists visiting these areas.”

Jason Thompson, Chairman, Hanover County, NC

“We've had tremendous support from the City of Wilmington, the county of New Hanover, and our technology partner Spectrum Bridge. We expect to learn a lot about the technology and the uses of the TV White Spaces through this trial. Here in Wilmington we're pulling together a variety of radios and applications. We’re excited to grow the trial network and invite future participation by radio vendors, government organizations and potential users.”
