VA, as in Virginia?
Might also ask on the isp-wireless list.

Subject: New America and Allies Submit FCC Comments Proving Case for
Unlicensed Access to Unused TV Channels
New America and Allies Submit Comments to FCC Proving Case for Unlicensed
Access to Unused TV Channels
Yesterday, New America with Media Access Project and allies (NAF, et al.)
filed comments in the FCC's proceeding to open up the unused channels
("white space") in the prime frequencies of the TV band to unlicensed use
for broadband and wireless innovation (Docket 04-186). NAF, et al., have
filed numerous sets of comments in this proceeding since it was initiated
in 2004. The proceeding, stalled at the FCC for almost two years, was
re-activated in October after the Senate Commerce Committee unanimously
adopted a bill (reintroduced this month by Sens. John Kerry and Gordon
Smith) to require the FCC complete the rulemaking and open the "vast
wasteland" of TV white space for unlicensed, wireless broadband and
innovation.
Our new comments authoritatively address two overriding issues: First,
claims made by the TV broadcast industry that unlicensed devices
operating in unused TV channels would interfere with TV reception and
other licensed uses of the TV band; and second, whether the TV white
space spectrum should be exclusively licensed instead of unlicensed.
NAF, et al. filed three sets of comments yesterday:
Economic/Legal Comments
We challenge the FCC's re-opening of the issue of whether or not to
license the TV white space, given its prior decision and an indisputable
record in favor of an unlicensed approach. The comments summarize the
tremendous and still rapidly increasing social and economic benefits of
unlicensed spectrum, including more affordable and ubiquitous broadband -
particularly in rural areas - home and enterprise networking, wireless
device and service innovation, and more. The comments explain why
licensing is both impractical and inadvisable in this band. We argue that
the interference-avoidance mechanisms proposed in the FCC's original 2004
rulemaking are sufficient-along with specific technical parameters to be
developed by the FCC-to protect licensed TV band users. Full comments

Technical Comments
Our Technical Comments, drafted by NAF technical advisor and prominent
former FCC engineer Michael Marcus, address further technical issues that
have arisen since the original 2004 comment period. These technical
comments address the specific concerns and confusion propagated by the
broadcast lobby with respect to the interference potential of unlicensed
devices. They summarize the results of two engineering studies
commissioned by NAF making an irrefutable empirical case for why
unlicensed devices can both sense TV broadcast signals AND avoid causing
interference. One of these studies, examining the potential for
unlicensed devices to use cognitive radio sensing to detect and avoid
occupied TV channels, was filed as an appendix to the Technical Comments.
This White Space Sensing Study is available on our website here. Full

Final Results of University of Kansas TV White Space Interference Study
NAF, et al. also filed the results of an unlicensed device interference
study, commissioned by NAF and conducted at the University of Kansas IT
labs, proving irrefutably that portable and low-power unlicensed devices
can operate in empty TV channels without causing interference with
television viewing on other channels. Full comments and study available

Thanks as always for your time and attention to these important issues.
