MVDDS dispute
The MVDDS dispute refers to several legal disputes and political controversies that surrounded Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval of MVDDS terrestrial wireless broadband technology. The controversy arose over the lobbying efforts of Northpoint Technology, a developer of MVDDS, to receive approval and licensing for the technology. The dispute later transformed into several court cases against the FCC and satellite television providers, as well as a patent infringement case against MDS America and MDS International. As a result of the dispute, Northpoint lost the patents.
==Development of MVDDS==
Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS) is a land-based system for sending wireless broadband signals over a part of the electromagnetic spectrum usually reserved for satellite television (within the frequency range of 12.2 to 12.7 GHz). The technology allows sharing the spectrum with the satellite signals without interference.
MDSi Hypercable began developing an MVDDS technology in the mid-1996s which is called HyperCable. The CEO of MDS America, the company that was to be the product's distributor of Hypercable in the United States and a minor investor in MDS International, showed Hypercable to the FCC with the help of the inventor J.C Ducasse, Hypercable in 2001 that the technology had been used in 20 locations worldwide since 1996.〔 〕
Meanwhile, American company Northpoint Technology, Ltd. began developing its own MVDDS system in the early 1990s. It filed its first patent applications by 1994, using ideas from engineers Saleem and Carmen Tawil, and was formally founded in 1996 with investment money from various prominent individuals. The Chair of Northpoint was Sophia Collier, also the head of Citizen's Advisers. The Executive Vice President was Antoinette Cook Bush, the stepdaughter of prominent Democratic activist Vernon Jordan. In addition, the Tawils and Katherine (Chula) Reynolds, a member of the King Ranch family, were directors.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Northpoint Technology )〕
