March 25th, 2008 Google Wireless BroadBand
Google sent a letter to FCC today in which it detailed plans to provide wireless Internet access over TV “white spaces” in USA. White spaces are the unlicensed and unused TV airwaves, which TV broadcasters say will cause interference if they are used by others. Google’s letter today is perhaps a sign that it was not the inherent winner of the recent spectrum auction despite what people are saying.
Google was pressing the FCC to provide access to the white spaces prior to the auction results, however, Google’s letter today shows the company is still worried about there being enough competition in the industry.
It was reported that Google said that the white space, located between channels 2 and 51 on TV that aren’t hooked up to satellite or cable, offer a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband access to all Americans.” In addition, opening up the spectrum would “enable much-needed competition to the incumbent broadband service providers,” wrote Richard Whitt, Google’s telecom and media lawyer. In light of this big news , Google held a conference call discussing the letter today. Silicon Alley Insider has a live transcript here. The filing comes less than two weeks after Microsoft’s Bill Gates urged the FCC to free up the white space spectrum to use Wi-Fi. Google and Microsoft are part of a coalition of technology companies that are lobbying the FCC about white-space use.
