Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

October 23, 2002 by Mary Greczyn|Miscellaneous

FCC released staff report Tues. on ultra-wideband (UWB) testing, outlining results of study that showed ambient radio noise levels in GPS bands in certain environments were “well above” emissions limits for UWB. FCC Lab also measured emissions from devices ranging from personal computers to electric drills, which it found had emissions above limits set for UWB devices but still within current Part 15 restrictions. Report underscored conservative levels of UWB limits by showing, for some GPS bands, ambient noise levels, and for consumer devices, emissions, that were many times greater than levels set for UWB in FCC order, several sources said.

Cablevision Systems said it added 99,000 cable modem subscribers in 4th quarter, about 7,600 per week, to close 2000 with 238,500 and penetration rate of 11.9%. As it continues to upgrade its plant to 750 MHz capacity, company said, it aims to double its high-speed data customer total to 475,000 by end of 2001. But Cablevision, which originally planned to introduce digital cable service this winter, said it wouldn’t begin deploying digital set-top boxes until next fall because it wanted to bolster its customer support operation first. Plans now call for installing 100,000 Sony digital boxes in subscriber homes by year’s end. In conference call with analysts Wed., Cablevision executives denied that there were any problems with new Sony boxes or their cable plant. “We are technologically ready” for digital, Cablevision CEO James Dolan said. Executives said they planned to roll out digital broadly in 2002. They also expressed strong interest in pursuing expanded relationship with MGM, which just bought 20% stake in Rainbow Media, as well as building PCS business in N.Y.C. area and possibly selling various PCS licenses elsewhere.
