I am very pleased to find roasenable comments here.Cabe commented:"The FCC has been charged with making sure there is order on the airwaves, and they are distributed fairly."That's an important distinction that some folks seem to overlook.Larry Page's post included the following:"the FCC process will guarantee that no device is sold to consumers until it can be certified not to interfere"That is, indeed, how it is supposed to work.FCC Type Acceptance has been the rule for commercial broadcasters, two way radio, and most other users for a very long time.For the record I was a broadcast engineer for over 20 years, and I am still an amateur radio operator. I'm also heavily involved in technical theatre on an amateur level.I am opposed to the current battle over the white space... the whole thing has become a political football when what is really needed is balance and consensus.I can't imagine that anyone would argue against "Wi-Fi" on steroids. Universal, ubiquitous access to the internet would be a huge boon for everyone.By the same token, I can't imagine that any roasenable person would want to see an entire segment of spectrum users (ignoring for a moment the very real fact they many use it illegally - I'll get to that) booted out without time to find an alternative.Live production, be it theatre, concerts, sporting events, or whatever, depends on the wireless technology they are using today.It has been reported that anyone using a wireless microphone in the TV portion of the spectrum does so illegally. This is untrue.First, anyone with a broadcast license can use that portion of the spectrum that is licensed to them, as long as they use equipment that meets certain specifications, or are willing to accept interference.Second, there are already a number of exceptions. Recently I had to specify an assisted listening system for a theatre. We chose RF over Infra-Red because it is more reliable.With all the current fuss I was concerned about future problems, but a little research pointed out that these transmitters are entirely legal, when used for their intended application.It is true that the live production industry operated on a wink and a nudge for a very long time, and now they must pay the price. They need to develop and use wireless systems that are legal.But they've been pushed into a bit of a nasty corner. The wireless manufacturers are almost certainly all working on their next generation of device, but until the white space issue is resolved they can't be certain what the requirements will be, so they can't really make a lot of noise about what it is they are developing.They will be (or should be) subject to the same rigorous testing that the wireless networking devices are subject to. All of us would like to see the soon-to-be vacated space used efficiently, and quickly. But there is such a thing as too quick.We all need to take a step back and figure out a solution that allows "Wi-Fi on steroids" while at the same time preserving, and even improving the current applications.I don't think that's too much to ask...
