Airwaves are finally voted free by FCC

Posted on | November 11, 2008 | No Comments

From the Google/FreeTheAirwaves newsletter:

“We did it. On November 4, 2008, by a vote of 5-0, the Federal Communications Commission agreed to free the unused TV airwaves for unlicensed public use.

This is a tremendous victory for Internet users.

Thank you for being one of the more than 20,000 who signed the Free the Airwaves petition to the FCC. This historic vote would not have been possible without your effort.

And many thanks to the Commission for showing great leadership on this issue.
