The purpose of this collection is to remove existing wireless microphone licensees from the 700 MHz band by June 12, 2010. This spectrum will now be used by public safety entities such as police, fire, and emergency services. The second aspect of this IC requires manufacturers dealers, distributors, and other entities who sell or lease wireless mics to display a disclosure at the point of sale or lease that informs consumers of the conditions that apply to the operation of wireless mics that vacate the 700 MHz band and relocate to the core TV spectrum during the temporary waiver. Thirdly, the Commission established a labeling requirement for wireless mics capable of operating in the 700 MHz band. Any person who manufactures, sells, or leases wireless mics in the U.S. that are destined for non-U.S. markets and that are capable of operating in the 700 MHz band must include a label in all sales, marketing, and packaging materials, including on-line materials, related to such devices.
The Commission's Report and Order provides notice to wireless microphone users that they must vacate the 700 MHz band by June 12, 2010. The new rules provide a mechanism for clearing the band before June 12th. Because the 700 MHz band will now be used by public safety or commercial licensees, those licensees will notify the Commission that they will be initiating operation on specified frequencies in particular market(s). Upon such notification, the FCC will issue a public notice identifying the affected market(s). Wireless microphone users in those areas must cease operation within 60 days of the release of the Public Notice. The second
