FCC Finalizes Nov. 4 Agenda; Wireless Industry Braces For Many Changes
Those hoping for the FCC to delay its vote on white spaces, or the rates phone companies pay one another to transfer calls, have lost their chance. Same goes for the regulatory agency’s pending vote on Verizon’s acquisition of Alltel (NYSE: AT) and the Clearwire (NSDQ: CLWR) merger.

Election Day is destined to deliver various changes that will have ramifications throughout the wireless industry. FCC Nov. 4 Meeting Agenda (PDF).
