GOOGLE SHOWS DEVICES TO FCC IN PUSH TO FREE AIRWAVES
[SOURCE: Bloomberg, AUTHOR: Molly Peterson]
Google is now the third company to demonstrate experimental technology to the Federal Communications Commission as part of its push to free up unused television airwaves for wireless Internet access. Early tests found the technologies can "amply" protect occupied TV channels from interference if they are built into mobile devices that use vacant channels, Google told the FCC in a letter from Richard Whitt. Broadcasters such as CBS Corp. and Walt Disney Co.'s ABC oppose the technology companies' plan, saying the gadgets may cause digital TV screens to freeze and become unwatchable.
