The Wireless Innovation Alliance has spent months (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/91792) trying to get the FCC to approve a broadband spectrum-seeking device for use of white space . The device has encountered a series of problems including wireless signal interference. The white space coalition says that the failures of the device are all part of its testing (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/92139). However, groups in opposition to white space use, such as the National Association of Broadcasters, say that the most recent failure of the device should be a case of three strikes and you re out . The FCC has ruled in favor of those groups and announced (http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6546054.html) that it will not be considering any more testing of that specific device. While this has been going on, the Wireless Innovation Alliance has begun calling for (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Carriers-Want-White-Space-Spectrum-Licensed-Auctioned-93061) an auction of that spectrum.
