MICROSOFT has told the US Federal Communications Commission it is confident that 
vacant television airwaves can be used for wireless services without interfering 
with broadcast signals.

The unused US television airwaves would be available for other services by early 
2009, when broadcasters are due to switch from analogue to digital signals.

In a document filed with the FCC, Microsoft disputed the agency's recent finding 
that prototype internet devices caused static on existing broadcasts.
