Microsoft has unveiled an ambitious plan that would use technology found in the television white space spectrum to develop affordable broadband Internet access for at least 2 million consumers. The aim is to bridge the technology gap between urban and rural American communities. The spectrum is a currently unused portion in the 600 Mhz frequency range designated for UHF television bands, which allows wireless signals to travel over hills and through buildings and trees into rural areas...
The Federal Communications Commission this week released a proposal that could significantly change the sports blackout rules that can prevent local TV broadcasts of games when a stadium doesn't sell out. The rules regarding blackouts were adopted in 1975, when the majority of National Football Leag...
Bombarded by ads for cable and satellite TV packages, or seductive programming bundles offered by Internet service providers and phone companies, it may be easy to forget that it's possible to pick up much of that programming via a sub-hundred dollar indoor antenna reminiscent of the rabbit-ear da...
The smoke and haze from the 190-square mile Station Fire near Los Angeles isn't just making it difficult to see in the area of the San Gabriel Mountains. It's also having an impact on advanced forms of communications in Southern California: cellphone signals, television and radio broadcasting, even ...
Internet users watched more than 10 billion videos in February, according to a comScore report released Wednesday at the annual meeting of the National Association of Broadcasters in Las Vegas.

Having induced the Federal Communications Commission to open up the C block of wireless spectrum at the recent wireless auction, Google is now seeking access to another set of airwaves in pursuit of openness. This time, it wants to open up the unlicensed parts of the TV broadcast spectrum, the so-ca...
This week marked the anniversary of the announcement that the satellite radio firms Sirius and XM plan to merge, yet so far the companies have not been allowed to consummate the marriage. That's because regulators are standing in the way, backed by well-heeled Washington lobbyists out to prove that ...
After a suffering a setback last month when the Federal Communications Commission found flaws in a new Microsoft-produced wireless broadband device that could enable the use of the so-called white spaces in radio spectrum airwaves for high-speed Internet traffic, the Redmond-based software giant is ...
Microsoft, Google and other members of the White Spaces Coalition received a blow last week when the Federal Communications Commission rejected the device they proposed to allow wireless Internet transmissions over unused TV spectrum.

Microsoft on Monday unveiled Silverlight, a new browser plug-in designed to compete head-to-head with Adobe's Flash plug-in. Announced at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in Las Vegas, Microsoft says the new cross-platform application will let Web publishers deliver rich interacti...
The biggest problem with online streaming video is that one must be connected to the Internet to view it. That problem may be mitigated by Adobe's new media player. The company on Monday announced at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in Las Vegas a new Flash-focused, application-ba...
Last week was painful to watch. Don Imus made a statement that is common -- but inappropriate coming from an old white man -- and got shot for it, repeatedly, and is now off the air. This dovetailed with a now broad effort to create a code of conduct for the Web somewhat similar to what the broadcas...
At the National Association of Broadcasters 2006 convention in Las Vegas on Monday, Microsoft and Universal Pictures announced a collaboration on the release of next-generation HD DVD discs. The discs use VC-1, the video compression standard recently approved by the Society of Motion Picture and Tel...
