Broadcasters Sue FCC Over White Spaces Decision - 2009-03-02 21:39:32 - Broadcasting & Cable

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin may be gone, but decisions under his watch continue to wind up in court.

The most recent was the unanimous decision to allow unlicensed devices like laptops and smart radios to share the spectrum also used by digital TV stations.

The Association for Maximum Service Television and the National Association of Broadcasters jointly filed a petition with the federal court of appeals for the D.C. Circuit, their preferred venue, to hold unlawful, vacate and set aside its decision allowing the devices, which broadcasters argue interferes with DTV transmissions, a fact they say FCC engineers themselves concluded.
