Google calls on FCC to act

Google co-founder Larry Page called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to give companies unlicensed access to television airwaves before the November election, states CNN.

Broadcasters and wireless microphone manufacturers are concerned that the mobile devices Google and other companies want to build on static channels will cause interference with their signals.
