The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology will start a 45-day public trial of a new registration system for Google’s TV band database on June 2, the agency said Wednesday. Spectrum Bridge, another approved TV band database administrator, currently manages the registration of protected entities on Google’s behalf, but Google has developed its own procedures, OET said. The test is a “limited trial” that’s intended to allow the public to access and test Google’s new registration procedures, OET said (http://bit.ly/SQYYqM). Fletcher Heald noted Wednesday that the FCC already had approved one version of Google’s database. “There’s been some movement on the white space database administrator front -- but it’s hard to call it progress,” said a blog post from the firm (http://bit.ly/1tQoKJ7).
