Subject: Wireless Microphones

Under a new FCC rule, anyone who uses a wireless microphone that 
operates in the 700 MHz Band must stop operating their wireless 
microphone no later than June 12, 2010.  All users of 700 MHz Band 
wireless microphones (and similar devices) - including theaters, 
churches, schools, conference centers, theme parks, and musicians -- 
will need to retune (where possible) or replace their wireless 
microphone equipment with other microphone devices no later than June 
12, 2010. This action helps complete an important component of the 
DTV Transition by clearing the 700 MHz band to enable the rollout of 
communications services for public safety and the deployment of next 
generation 4G wireless devices for consumers.
