* NAB, Reps. Inslee and Deal Look to Fill White Spaces
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The National Association of Broadcasters and a pair of congressmen are filling the so-called white spaces with ink in a battle over the use of broadcast digital-TV spectrum. NAB president David Rehr sent a letter to Grant Seiffert, president of the Telecommunications Industry Association, asking him to join with the NAB in opposing allowing unlicensed devices in so-called white spaces (the NAB calls them "interference zones"), saying that the two associations share an interest in preventing unlicensed mobile-wireless devices like personal digital assistants and laptops from being able to share the spectrum band housing DTV broadcasters because it would set a precedent. Reps. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) and Nathan Deal (R-Ga.) have written their colleagues asking them not to be swayed by broadcaster arguments against allowing unlicensed mobile wireless devices like PDAs and laptops to share the spectrum band housing DTV broadcasters.
