The great irony of what the previous commenter is saying is that much of the music industry's use of this spectrum has, in fact, been illegal. Coexistence is indeed possible. But your industry broadcasts in this spectrum by violating the law. All this campaign is trying to do is clarify that law so that TV, and the music industry, and uses for public benefit like Internet access can all coexist peacefully. Make sense?
Google basically lost the FCC airwave auction and wants other airwaves for free. The free the airwaves movement basically wants to control of the airwaves that are presently used for radio microphones. Most people may not realize the importance of this spectrum, but enjoy the benefits of it every day. Motion pictures, TV, concerts, broadway type shows & church services use radio microphones. Without the benefit of these microphones the sound quality of these could go down the tubes.
For years the music industry has used this band for wireless microphones,and has co-existed with the television industry. now big money wants to cripple the music industry taking up all of this freq. spectrum for the use of wifi, with absolutely no mention to us it will render all the equip in our industry useless, funny how they forgot to mention that, think about that the next time you see a concert, broadway show, symphony performance, or even a newscaster that is wearing a wirless lapel mic.
