White Spaces Test "Rigged," Says Google Co-Founder Page

Posted by timothy on from the say-it-ain't-so dept.

Davide Marney writes "As reported by the Washington Post, Google co-founder Larry Page claims that an FCC field test of white space wireless devices was 'rigged' to make the test device fail to detect wireless microphone broadcasts. A Google spokesman explained later that testers had hidden the wireless microphones within the same frequency as local television stations, preventing the test device from detecting them."

    Vested interest does not necessarily lead to bias, though it certainly could have done so in this case.

    Sure thing, Larry. (j/k)
