On: Broadcasters Oppose Wireless Net Service

I'm in favor of anything that will get broadband to rural areas, but the TV broadcasters should get reasonable assurance of protection from this new service. And I sure as hell wouldn't trust the techies never to dynamically plant their broadband data transmitter on the same frequency as someone's soap opera. At the very least the data people likely need an incentive (e.g. fines) to take interference avaoidance seriously. Are you aware that this is precisely what the FCC was created to do? They govern usage of the RF and microwave spectrum. Companies found selling devices that do not comply with FCC rules face heavy fines. Recently an unlicensed radio station in Florida was fined $35,000.
