It’s not been widely reported, but the FCC could be preparing to finally authorize “white spaces” equipment in the U.S. by the end of this month. 

A long-time friend and colleague who tracks these issues closely notes that, “details are still mostly unknown, but some reports are that only two TV channels per TV market are being set aside for wireless mics. Plus, one report says that they won’t even be ‘clean’ channels, they will be shared with other services.”

Sunday’s Washington Post offered this relatively detailed account of the situation.

Just when you thought things might not get any more complicated…

Anyway, we’ll provide further information as soon as its available.

"Plus, one report says that they won’t even be ‘clean’ channels, they will be shared with other services.'"

As wireless mics (and coms, IEMs and IFBs) operate in the core TV bands, they have always, and will continue to operate as secondary services to Part 73 broadcast and other Part 74 broadcast auxiliary service operations. However, the two safe harbor channels in each market as proposed by OET to the commissioners will be void of all Part 15 operations, other than of course wireless mics operating under Part 15 waiver.
