The FCC has released its plan for allowing unlicensed transmitters to operate on vacant TV channels. If things stay on schedule, consumers will be able to buy these devices immediately after analog TV is shut off in February 2009. Broadcasters and other users of UHF TV spectrum, including two-way radio licensees and users of wireless microphones, have been concerned about potential interference and have opposed the FCC's proposals for unlicensed devices on TV channels.
