MSTV Pushes Back on White Spaces

MSTV PUSHES BACK ON WHITE SPACES
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The Association for Maximum Service Television, the broadcasting industry's spectrum watchdog, has released a study it says documents interference problems associated with unlicensed devices operating in the so-called "white spaces" in the TV band. The MSTV study asserts that unlicensed devices pose a serious interference risk to DTV reception. The Senate communications reform bill would give the OK to using some of the TV band for unlicensed wireless devices within 270 days of passage and would require broadcasters to identify the source of the interference before complaining about it, which troubles MSTV.
