SECOND WHITE SPACE BILL WOULD SHORTEN TIMELINE
[SOURCE: TV Technology]
Another white spaces bill is being rolled out in the Senate, this one with a shorter implementation timeframe than the first. The White Spaces Act of 2007 from Sen. John Sununu (R-N.H.) would allow unlicensed devices into fallow broadcast channels within 90 days of enactment or Oct. 1 of this year, whichever comes first. Last week, Sen. John Kerry re-introduced his Wireless Innovation Act, a rerun of one of the items in the erstwhile telecom package that stalled in the Senate. The resurrected WIN Act, as it came to be referenced, had a 180-day time window.
