FCC extends White Space testing as devices from Microsoft and Phillips crap out

Broadcasting & Cable offers up an article that discusses the current problems plaguing the testing of White Space devices at the FCC. The FCC is planning to extend lab testing that is rumored to be going very poorly for the likes of Microsoft and Phillips. When, if ever, the lab testing ends the Sports Video Group and its members plan on extending the opportunity for field trials to the FCC. But David Donovan, MSTV president, thinks the FCC has more pressing issues.“I think the FCC’s time would be better spent doing technical work on the DTV transition rather than trying to push technology that simply does not work in the lab, let alone in the real world,” Donovan said.
