A broad coalition of high-profile wireless microphone users, organized as the Microphone Interests Coalition (MIC), sharply criticized the recent proposal submitted by Google to open the so-called ?white spaces? to unlicensed device use. According to the coalition, Google is touting the proposal as a spectrum compromise that eliminates any remaining interference concerns about using personal/portable devices in the unassigned TV channels called "white spaces." The coalition, however, says the plan is far from a compromise and should not be viewed as a solution for wireless microphones.
