FCC Okays Second Area for "White Space" Operations

The Federal Communications Commission has authorized TV white space database coordinator Telcordia to offer service within Nottoway County, Virginia, a mostly rural area toward the southern part of the state.

Initial operations will include 20 sites serving rural schools and households. The action comes less than a month after the FCC approved Telcordia’s database, and four months after the first white space operations were approved for Wilmington, NC by coordinator Spectrum Bridge, Inc. Included in the Nottoway County order are special procedures for registering wireless microphones entitled to protection from white space devices.
