Richard, Thanks for the
info. Steve From: Richard Kennedy
[mailto:rikennedy@xxxxxxx] Steve: Any “understanding” of the database provisions is premature.
The Second R&O covered some basic ideas, and the public notice said these
provisions will not be written to Part 15 until later. So at this point I
would not even venture to guess what the final outcome of Part 15.713, 15.714,
15.715 and 15.717 (the database provisions) will look like. From the Federal Register of February 17,
2009:
Effective March 19, 2009, except for §§ 15.713, 15.714, 15.715 and 15.717,
which contain information collection requirements that have not been approved
by the Office of Management and Budget. The Federal Communications Commission
will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective
date of those sections. Rich Kennedy Standards

[mailto:sshellha@xxxxxxxxxxxx] All,
I was speaking with Mark Cummings today and he pointed out an issue that got
brought up at the Wireless Interim.
It seems that when we were discussing the coexistence matrix it was mentioned
that the TV white space database would somehow coordinate spectrum usage
between TV white space devices. It is my understanding of the FCC R&O
that the database will provide a list of channels unused by incumbent systems
in that location, but will not act as a spectrum server telling TV white space
devices which channels they can use. It is my understanding that the
incumbent database is for the function of protecting incumbent services and not
coordinating coexistence between TV white space devices.
If anyone has any comments or feedback they are welcome. Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------
