FILE - In this file photo made March 12, 2010, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is interviewed at his office in Washington. Nearly two years ago, the Federal Communications Commission voted to open up unused portions of television airwaves called "white spaces" to deliver wireless broadband connections that function like Wi-Fi networks on steroids. Now the FCC is set to resolve those issues with a vote set for Sept. 23 that will set the rules of the road for using white spaces. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)
