White Spaces Access to the Future November 2008

“The bottom line is that we have a potentially game changing technology in our sights... ” Senator John Kerry (D-MA)

Google Confidential and Proprietary TV White Spaces => “WiFi on Steroids” Unlicensed use of TV White Spaces can unleash the exciting promise of "ubiquitous WiFi” –Strong propagation characteristics –Unlicensed use = rapid innovation and deployment –Carefully considered for over 4 years –The OET concluded that TV uses can be protected In addition to serving the needs of rural markets, it is imperative that the order's conditions are suitable for major metro areas, where use of adjacent channels is critically important. –Large scale required for economic viability –Major markets have very few non-adjacent channels WSDs can safely operate at commercially-viable levels in adjacent channels by leveraging readily-available, technologically-sound approaches. –Variable power levels with a cap, based on data received from the geo-location database –WSD power level can be appropriately offset against modeled DTV signal strength –Wireless mic users are protected by set asides

Google Confidential and Proprietary White Spaces: An Unused Resource Our Vision The Future Adjacent Channels 4

Google Confidential and Proprietary Stronger Propagation than WiFi Our Vision The Future Potential Constraints 5 The DTV transition creates a unique opportunity to create unlicensed broadband spectrum below 1 GHz. Lower frequency means better propagation characteristics, which is critical to ubiquitous deployment.

Google Confidential and Proprietary 6 Combining the ubiquity of unlicensed WiFi-like technology with the strong propagation characteristics of white spaces spectrum to create a new wireless broadband alternative that reaches millions. Our Vision: Broadband WiFi

“ It’s time to use [white spaces] to help more people access the internet and the communication and information it makes possible, especially in rural and underserved areas. ” Representative Jay Inslee (D-WA)

Google Confidential and Proprietary 8 Virtually all white space channels in many major metropolitan areas are adjacent. Our Vision Importance of Adjacent Channels The Future Potential Constraints *Post-transition whitespace in Channels and Channels with digital TV signals greater than or equal to -85 dBm are considered occupied, as estimated by

Google Confidential and Proprietary 9 Our variable power proposal unlocks far more spectrum for broadband WiFi. Our Vision The Future Potential Constraints Google’s Variable Power Proposal * Post-transition whitespace in Channels and Channels with digital TV signals greater than or equal to -85 dBm are considered occupied, as estimated by Assumes 1W required for mobile broadband.

“ The commission has been studying for a long time how we can make more efficient use of the spectrum, how we can take advantage of the existing white spaces between broadcast channels... This spectrum can be very conducive to broadband capability. ” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin

Google Confidential and Proprietary Potential Constraints The Future Our Vision 11 A New Wireless Broadband Wave Unlicensed use of White Spaces can enable the exciting promise of ubiquitous WiFi. The FCC’s draft white spaces order adopts the right general framework. The OET has confirmed that Digital TV channels that are in-use can be protected by leveraging spectrum sensing and geo-location databases. At the same time, the FCC should ensure that the order does not unnecessarily constrain commercial feasibility of broadband WiFi service.

Google Confidential and Proprietary 12 OET’s Testing Report “We are satisfied that spectrum sensing in combination with geo-location and database access techniques can be used to authorize equipment today under appropriate technical standards and that issues regarding future development and approval of any additional devices, including devices relying on sensing alone, can be addressed." The Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) testing report makes clear that the burden of "proof of concept" of WSDs has been met, and that unlicensed use can co-exist in the spectrum with Digital TV. Our Vision The Future Potential Constraints

Google Confidential and Proprietary 13 The FCC’s Draft Decision Unlicensed regime makes the most sense. Personal/portable uses are a key aspect. Spectrum sensing and geo-location databases as "proof of concepts" are demonstrated by the OET report. Wireless microphone users are more than amply protected by spectrum sensing, numerous set- aside channels, and access to the geo-location database. Access to adjacent channels is allowed. Most proposed power limits are acceptable to allow a commercially viable “broadband WiFi” service offering. The FCC’s proposed framework for white spaces is eminently sound, and the Commissioners should move forward quickly to adopt this order. Our Vision The Future Potential Constraints

Google Confidential and Proprietary 14 White spaces has the potential to transform the broadband market by providing mobile broadband access to underserved markets. The key is the ability to provide service ubiquitously across all types of users. Economic viability of rural markets depends on volumes generated in major markets. Rules must work for both rural and major markets. Unnecessary constraints on adjacent channel power levels could limit market opportunity in major markets. Thus, device volumes would be lower, creating higher costs which would constrain wide deployment in all areas. The Economics of White Spaces Our Vision The Future Potential Constraints

Google Confidential and Proprietary 15 Especially in major markets, the ability to use every available channel – including those adjacent to DTV channels. A potential constraint on the viability of broadband WiFi is the amount of power allowed in empty channels adjoining licensed DTV channels. The empty adjacent channels in cities must be made available as an economic incentive to serve all geographic regions. Without reasonable power limits for those empty channels, the economic viability for ubiquitous broadband WiFi is destroyed. Every Channel Matters Our Vision The Future Potential Constraints

Google Confidential and Proprietary 16 Google’s Variable Power Proposal Under Google's proposal, adjacent channels would be amply protected by “variable power” controls, using the geo-location database. By contrast, using a single fixed power limit of 40 mW for all adjacent channels is less granular. In particular, a fixed power limit of 40 mW obviates the ability to use most of the empty adjacent channel spectrum. At minimum, would-be broadband WiFi providers should have a future opportunity to rebut the presumption that a fixed power level is sufficiently granular, and that power levels above 40 mW would be harmful. Google recently filed a granular approach to adjacent channel power limits. Our Vision The Future Potential Constraints

“ During a time of potential economic uncertainty in the retail markets, the FCC’s decision provides a glimmer of hope for an industry capable of beating a path to economic recovery. ” Representative Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
