White spacers press FCC on database plan

Representatives of the White Spaces Database Group met with officials in the Federal Communications Commission's Office of Engineering and Technology last week to discuss their "commitment to the timely creation and operation of a geolocation database" for the service. The Group wants the FCC to get moving on the core of the location system that's intended to protect TV channels and unlicensed microphones from device interference—presumably because, despite broadcaster opposition and stock crashes, they'd still like to get their products to market.
