Washington, DC - The following statement can be attributed to NAB President and CEO David K. Rehr regarding today's Federal Communications Commission's public notice regarding unlicensed device use in the broadcast television spectrum band:
"NAB has been working diligently with the Senate Commerce Committee on the unlicensed devices issue, along with the FCC. We are pleased the FCC has taken the sensible position of ensuring that these devices will be tested rigorously, and that no marketplace introduction will occur until after broadcasters complete a successful transition to digital television."
