Microsoft, Intel, Google and other tech companies called on the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to move forward with a proceeding to make unused television spectrum available for wireless networking technologies.
Members of the White Spaces Coalition, also including Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co., on Tuesday said they intend to keep the pressure on the FCC to meet its deadline of issuing final rules on the use of unlicensed wireless devices in spectrum white spaces, which are empty TV channels available in every city.
