Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski talks with Bloomberg's Peter Cook about today's vote that clears the way for use of vacant television channels by wireless and Internet services, and rules U.S. regulators should adopt for Internet traffic. The FCC voted 5-0 today to adopt rules for using the airwaves, known as white spaces. Microsoft Corp., Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Motorola Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corp. are laying plans to exploit the airwaves, which exist in all U.S. cities. The FCC would get authority over Internet-traffic practices of companies for two years in a plan being weighed by congressional staff, two people involved with the talks said. (Source: Bloomberg) |
