FCC Approves Unlicensed Use of TV White Spaces
In a 5 - 0 decision, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted rules for unlicensed use of the televsion white spaces. It is a landmark decision for the Commission, heralding a new era for wireless innovation and more efficient and democratic use of the airwaves. Open and free access to unused TV channels will enable “WiFi on steroids," helping to bring affordable wireless broadband to rural America and underserved urban areas as well as encouraging new and innovative wireless devices.
Since 2004, the Wireless Future Program has been a leading advocate for opening vacant and unassigned television channels, also known as the TV "white spaces", for unlicensed wireless devices. We are pleased with the Commission's decision and thankful to all of our partners in this effort, including the members of the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition and the Wireless Innovation Alliance.
