Still very much the chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates is expected to try to convince an FCC commissioner to help quell an NAB proposal that would push back a vote on "freeing the white spaces" of the wireless spectrum.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and another high-ranking Microsoft official plan to call FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell later today to help sway the commission away from an demand by TV industry to delay its decision on the controversial "white spaces," BetaNews has learned.
As previously reported in BetaNews, the National Association of Broadcasters issued a blistering attack two weeks ago on FCC test results released in connection with a proposal from the Google- and Microsoft-led Wireless Industry Association.
