The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is addressing a correction to a previous rule published in the Federal Register on January 12, 2021. This rule expanded the use of unlicensed white space devices to improve wireless broadband services in rural areas and aid in developing new Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The correction clarifies specific modifications to the introductory text of a particular rule section, rather than the entire section. These updates took effect on February 11, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The FCC fixed a small mistake in a rule that lets special gadgets, called "white space devices," help people in the countryside use the internet. This change makes sure everyone knows exactly which parts of the rule were updated.
