[Scan-DC] F.C.C. Orders Wireless Mike Modifications

[Jeff Krauss]

Actually the FCC is doing this to clear the 700 MHz band for Verizon, 
AT&T, etc.
The White Spaces devices will have to protect the Part 74 wireless 
mics and will have to compete with the newly-designated (formerly 
illegal) Part 15 wireless mics for spectrum.
