[WISPA] Press Release
WISPA Proposes a http://www.wispa.org/?p=304 Licensed-Lite Solution for TV White Spaces Filed under: Federal Legislation http://www.wispa.org/?cat=3 at 6:06 am (no comments) http://www.wispa.org/?p=304#respond (e) http://www.wispa.org/wp-admin/post.php?action=editpost=304 Spectrum sharing would benefit consumers Washington, D.C. - October 27, 2008 - Many Americans, especially those living in rural areas have never had affordable broadband Internet access. In a letter filed with the FCC last week, WISPA, the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (www.wispa.org), showed the FCC how it can make valuable TV White Space spectrum available for new services. The FCC is scheduled to vote on November 4 on how this spectrum can be used after the DTV transition occurs in February 2009. WISPA offered a detailed licensed-lite solution for unused TV channels. Unlike expensive spectrum auctions and noisy unlicensed spectrum, the licensed-lite approach relies on a spectrum sharing system that enables all users to operate without interference. It would benefit the public by allowing the development of new and innovative types of unlicensed broadband devices and services. It would also benefit WISPs by improving the service range of their existing networks, thereby allowing WISPs to reach new customers. WISPA's proposal also ensures that consumers will continue to receive over-the-air television signals without interference. Rick Harnish, WISPA's President, said We believe adoption of our licensed-lite proposal will stimulate rural economies around the nation by enabling low cost ubiquitous broadband service from local and regional operators. Children growing up in small towns deserve the same opportunities created by broadband adoption as those children in metropolitan areas. Small businesses and rural entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of a growing economy and we encourage the FCC Commissioners to do their part in reviving Rural America. Jack Unger, WISPA Secretary and Chair of WISPA's FCC Committee, added, We believe that there are enough White Space frequencies for all wireless users to share, without creating interference. Our licensed-lite proposal adopts a common-ground approach that benefits all users without relying on controversial spectrum-sensing techniques. Our technical solution uses a geolocation database that makes frequency sharing work. We urge the FCC Commissioners to adopt our licensed-lite proposal at their November 4th meeting because we believe it truly represents a win-win solution for all parties. Since 2004, over 30,000 comments have been filed with the FCC suggesting how the White Space frequencies should be used. Broadcasters want to be sure that new White Space users will not create interference with television reception. Silicon Valley firms favor unlicensed use for personal/portable devices that would rely on the controversial sensing technologies opposed by broadcasters. WISPA's licensed-lite approach represents a middle-of-the road solution that accommodates all of these interests.

If we (WISPs) wind up with a chunk of this spectrum after 4 long years of comments, stalls and put offs - - - OUR FCC committee WISPA will be recognized as a wireless crew to be reckoned with.

Re: [WISPA] Tool to find out if you might have white spaces spectrumavailable in your area.
I guess I am missing something, no matter where I look I see no contour lines.

Ok, so the static image maps I have been creating do not show an accurate picture channel by channel of the available white space spectrum. I decided that I would create a tool that all WISP's could use right now and get a good idea of how their own markets may be affected by white space spectrum being released. I used my GIS tools to create data layers channel by channel. From that I exported the results to a Google Earth file. (It's a large one, sorry the file size is large for list distribution, I compressed it as much as possible) Here is how you can use this. Open the file in Google Earth and you will see the folders specified by TV channel number. Zoom to your area of interest. Click on a channel and see if any contours show up in you desired coverage area. If they don't great, but you still need to check adjacent channels. You would do this by checking the boxes for the channel above and below the one you want to use. If no contours from those channels touch your desired area, you have a clean channel for potential use. This will all depend of course on how the final FCC rules are developed. DISCLAIMERS This mapping data was current as of 7-28-08 and only shows what I could best determine as digital channels. This is my best guess as to what will be on the air after the February 2009 cutover date and is by no means the final word. Things could change between now and then and some of these contours could change. This also does not show any current analog stations. There are some provisions for low power and translator stations to stay on the air in analog form and/or move channels after the cutover. This is pretty accurate but I'm not a Broadcast industry expert. Some of the digital stations might be temporary or for testing.

Re: [WISPA] Tool to find out if you might have white spaces spectrum available in your area.
Steve, Thanks for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. I do my best to help this organization, as it is one I have believed in since the starting of WISPA. I have seen many stories and reports about whitespaces touting the amount of available spectrum. The problem has always been how to actually show someone, in their particular area, with a static map what is available. With all my mapping experience, I still had not seen nor could I come up with a suitable map image that would paint the proper picture. The WISPA proposal in front of the FCC is a complex issue and as much as I try, it's still hard to adequately explain even to the people on the FCC committee what the real picture is. This was the best way I knew how to solve that problem. Google Earth is something that I like to explain as the web browser of mapping data. I can make static maps all day long, but when I can put the same data in the hands of people to want to use it for decision making and allow them to view the results from different perspectives, it gives people a lot more power. This is the same method I use for showing RF plots generated in other programs as well as detailed demographic and market studies for my clients. They sure appreciate being able to play with the data and run their own what-if scenarios. Many times they come up with results they never anticipated. And as we all know, having a competitive edge never hurts.

The Google Maps API just runs on JavaScript, so you can take whatever server-side scripting language you prefer, and automate the process easily enough. Most of the good stuff is detailed here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html Basically, create a page that does the Google Maps equivalent of hello world, then have your favorite server-side language output a bunch of JavaScript commands to create new points on the map, which your browser will then render through Google Maps' API.
