The FCC is enforcing its new rule that requires anyone using a wireless microphone that operates in the 700 MHz band, which was auctioned off to companies like Verizon and AT&T, to stop operating their wireless mics or devises no later than June 12th, 2010. Reed Hall, director of Audio & Technical Production at Lakewood Church in Houston, tells The Christian Post that churches are the number one users of wireless systems in the country, with 90% of them having at least one wireless system. Lakewood, which operates some 70 wireless systems, was among a number of churches in 2008 that opposed opening up the 700 MHz spectrum. The church supports a bill that protects 13 different classes of wireless microphone users, including churches, amusement parks, museums, stadiums and theaters.
