Colleagues,



AGain the fcc is dealing with the "white space" issue which
is so problematic to those of us who use a lot of wireless
to ship audio around.  This especially impacts the large
venues and the film sound people, but we're all going to
bump up against it sooner or later if we or any of our
clients want to go wireless.

I noted this the other day when somebody posted the url to a document about it
from the fcc, presumably from the fcc
daily digest.  I didn't post it here as it would have been
word wrapped to pieces, but you can use your favorite search engine to search
usenet and find it in rec.audio.pro if you
haven't already seen it.

I've maintained for years now that the failure of many users to actually fill
out that fcc form that came with their
wireless products and submit it was going to reach out and
bite us, and within the last couple of years I've ben proved right on that
one.  With the vacation of spectrum by
television channels along with their move to digital there's been quite a
number of folks clamoring to get their hands on that spectrum.

In the early days of the white space proposals brought forth by google and
others some articles regarding its impact were posted in the usenet group
rec.arts.movies.production.sound, and reposted in this forum before it was a
listserv as well. IF you serve customers or clients that need a lot of
wireless you may need to give a bit of attention to this if
you haven't already.



Regards,
           Richard
