| Content | SUMMARY The Association for Maximum Service Television, Inc. (“MSTV”), the National Association of Broadcasters (“NAB”), the ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox Television Networks, and the Open Mobile Video Coalition (“OMVC”) request that the Commission issue a public notice seeking comment from members of the public on the 400-page report released on October 15, 2008 by the Office of Engineering and Technology (“OET”). The OET’s report provides detailed results of extensive laboratory and field tests of prototype white space devices. The underlying data contradict the conclusions that are made in the report, including the assertion that there has been a “proof of concept” of spectrum-sensing devices. The data show that spectrum sensing cannot be used to determine accurately whether a television channel is occupied or vacant. The Chairman has announced that the Commission will vote in 14 business days to adopt rules authorizing TV band white space devices based on the conclusions in the OET’s report. If the Commission adopts rules hastily based on a flawed reading of the OET test results, WSDs will be let into the broadcast band without the protections that are necessary to prevent widespread interference to television and cable reception. Yet the Commission has not allowed members of the public to review and comment meaningfully on the results of the OET tests. Millions of viewers of digital television and cable services have a stake in the results of this proceeding. In light of the complexity of the report and critical issues raised by this proceeding, the Commission should issue a public notice seeking comment on the 400-page OET report, with initial comments be due within 45 days of the release of that public notice and with reply comments due 25 days thereafter. |
