Interesting article with quotes from the sound department of the Broadway production of Mamma Mia.
U.S. May Sell Airwaves That Help Broadway Sing

U.S. May Sell Airwaves That Help Broadway Sing

What do they expect us to do? They took our frequencies once, we got used to doing it another way, and now they want to change it again? I guess we have to fund Obama's weekly vacations somehow. I hope that people come out of the wood works to protest this. Last time they reassigned frequencies, the FCC was met with protests from the NFL, NASCAR, several political figures, and several major performing acts. Hopefully they will come together to express their dissatisfaction with this proposal.
But can't we just download the Wireless Mic app onto every performer's smartphone?
But seriously, I swear we went through this a few years ago.
All I meant by that was that the federal government is trying to get every cent they can doing whatever necessary to reach that goal. I was only referring to expenses in Washington in what I thought was a funny and relevant way. Sorry you took that the wrong way.
Just spitballing here: I wonder, with the shrinking of the bands, if well eventually see wireless microphones that use wifi and some sort of ip assignment, basically streaming to a computer or specialized box with multiple breakouts, or that can interface directly with a digital console. I realize that bandwidth would be a problem with larger shows, but this could probably be overcome with multiple closed networks.
Since 2007, the FCC has worked toward establishing - in portions of the700 MHz band - a nationwide, interoperable wireless broadband communications network that will benefit state, local and tribal public safety users.
like the 700MHZ issues the FCC ties this move to "Public Safety".
Or we all go to wired lapel mics... not so discrete though....
