Coalition to push for open airwaves

COALITION TO PUSH FOR OPEN AIRWAVES
[SOURCE: Seattle Times]
Microsoft is building a demonstration device to help it and five other technology companies (Google, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Philips and Intel), lobby the government to open up television airwaves for wireless Internet access. The coalition will submit the prototype device, which could access so-called "white space," or vacant TV airwaves, to the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology. The prototype is meant to demonstrate that accessing this unused TV spectrum would not interfere with existing technology, said a Microsoft spokesperson.
