NAB Statement on FCC Approval of Television White Spaces Order

In response to the approval by the Federal Communications Commission of an order allowing increased unlicensed wireless operations in television white spaces, the following statement can be attributed to NAB Senior Vice President of Communications Ann Marie Cumming:

“NAB thanks the FCC for approving an order that would provide greater flexibility for white spaces operations without undermining the fundamental principle that these operations must not cause interference to licensed services, such as radio and TV stations. We commend the Commission staff for their hard work on this item and their commitment to a consensus-based approach.”
