Hm... I don't think the rejection was true, or at least it's not true anymore...

If the Philips device worked, why do you suppose the FCC rejected the technology? It seems the broadcasters are most worried about the technology being permitted...

Reading Harry Feld's blog it appears that the Philips device basically works and the MS device doesn't. That's not at all surprising. Philips was a leader in the development of the UWB system that uses licensed spectrum in such a way as not to interfere with licensed uses, and MS is, well, we all know what they are.
