Abstract:
The DTV conversion is mostly complete; the impact of this and related FCC decisions is of great concern to wireless microphone users. Exactly what is the status of the 700 MHz spectrum and equipment? What types of interference will the proposed Television Band Devices likely create, and what are the proposed methods of mitigation? Will there be an FCC crack-down on unlicensed microphone use? This panel will discuss the latest FCC rule decisions and decisions still pending.
