The Federal Communications Commission announced that the Office of Engineering and Technology has approved Spectrum Bridge's television white spaces database system, which may provide service to devices beginning January 26, 2012. OET has also approved a device by Koos Technical Services as the first product allowed to operate on an unlicensed basis on unused frequencies in the TV bands.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said, "Unleashing white spaces spectrum has the potential to exceed even the many billions of dollars in economic benefit from Wi-Fi, the last significant release of unlicensed spectrum, and drive private investment and job creation. Initial operation under this approval will be limited to Wilmington, NC and the surrounding area and will expand nationwide pending completion and activation of the Commission's facilities for processing requests for protection of unlicensed wireless microphone at event venues."
