FCC: Calling All TV Spectrum Sharers

FCC : CALLING ALL SPECTRUM SHARERS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable 12/22, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The FCC has asked tech types to submit the low-power devices the FCC wants to allow to operate in the so-called white spaces between TV channels in the broadcast band. The Commission has not yet decided whether to license them or allow them to operate unlicensed. The latter scenario particularly troubles broadcasters, who argue that unlicensed devices could interfere, literally, with the transition to digital TV. Without licensing, the FCC would be hard pressed to get all those genies back in the bottle, broadcasters argue. Parties who want to submit prototypes are asked to make arrangements with the Commission by Jan. 29.
