FCC Announces the Approval of Google's TV Bands Database System for Operation

The Federal Communications Commission’s Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) announces that it has granted approval for Google to operate its “TV bands database system” with new procedures for registration of certain protected facilities. The Google database system’s new registration procedures, which were developed by Google itself, replace that database system’s current reliance on the procedures for registering protected facilities of another TVWS database system.
