from JIM VAN BERGEN
What is the role of a sound engineer in a Broadway show?
First, it varies greatly depending on whether the show is a play or a musical. You must wear many hats — those of politician, musician, interpreter, confidante, conspirator, dresser, and, of course, electrician. But none are as important as being the sound designer's daily representative in the theatre and maintaining the integrity of the com, radios, video, oh…and that sound equipment, too. (Can you sense the tongue in my cheek?)

WASHINGTON — FOH has been at the forefront of fighting the white space battle with the FCC for almost two years. We received word that the Federal Communications Commission followed the money and voted to allow technology companies like Google, Microsoft, Dell and Motorola to produce consumer devices that will use radio frequency (RF) spectrum now being used by wireless microphone systems. The decision comes despite objections from FCC engineers and the 100% failure rate of prototype devices in “real world” tests.
They did throw the industry a bone or two. According to USA Today, use of these yet-to-be-produced wireless consumer devices will be prohibited near television broadcast facilities or major entertainment venues. Smaller operators can request “safe-zone” treatment, but we’ll see how far that goes.
This ruling has not been unexpected. The issue has been framed inaccurately by people like FCC chief Kevin “Weasel-Boy” Martin, while phony “c

A giant corporation, Google, has taken an interest in the same issue, and companies invested in the Internet would like to sell new services over those broadcast frequencies.

Last week, after many months of thorough testing, the Commission's engineers announced their conclusion that white spaces devices could operate without interfering with TV broadcasts or wireless microphone signals. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin pledged his support for opening "white space" spectrum, and announced that the Commission would vote on the issue on November 4.
