We last updated you on Monday when the broadcasters, NBA, MLB, and the NFL lobbied the FCC to delay the November 4th vote. And other the other side, we got Dell, Google, Microsoft, and Motorola. Sprinkled on top are national legislators.
Guess who else got involved? Dolly Parton. I'll cut to the chase. I'm guessing someone wrote the letter to the FCC and Dolly just signed it. Seriously, she's cool. I mean it. She knows music, the business, and she looks great.
But white spaces she knows not. She's joined by a lot of other singers who fear interference from white spaces devices on their performances. I'm not dismissing their concerns. However, according to Cnet, "The report noted that geo-location technology, which uses a database to help devices identify and avoid spectrum bands known to already be in use, worked very well in avoiding interference".
Anyway, my feeling is that this will go ahead on November 4th. There'll be a lot of election results to watch on Election Day.
