	FCC Authorizes Developmental Testing of LPDS Concepts in New York City

Following nine years of development, FreePage Corporation

received (in late 2002) authority from the FCC to begin

Developmental testing of its proposed new

Radio Narrowcast Service utilizing 150 MHz channels it

owns in New York City.

EXCITING NEWS!!

LPDS is now widely available in Australia.

Over 100 ethnic broadcasters are now in operation

in the 150-172 MHz band providing specialized programming to

audiences throughout the continent. Some stations have websites.

This new service should be regarded as "Narrowcasting"

as it is designed to address the need of reaching

small targeted audiences economically.

IN MANY CASES LPDS PROVIDES A VIABLE

ALTERNATIVE TO THE USE OF FM-SCA CHANNELS

BECAUSE FCC RULES PERMIT ADDITIONAL

FILL-IN CO-CHANNEL TRANSMITTERS TO PROVIDE

BETTER COVERAGE. RECEIVERS COST LESS, TOO.

As developed by LPDS, signals could either "be in the clear",

digitized or otherwise encrypted, and could even be addressable

to reach only certain receivers, for example, paid subscribers.

When fully deployed, utilizing spectrum already owned by LPDS,

this service would provide twenty-eight separate program feeds

reaching over 14 MILLION potential listeners within twenty miles

of the Empire State Building

See the official FCC coverage map below.

Programming can be transmitted in Stereo or Mono.

The LPDS team has worked diligently to overcome hurdles of

every type, from copyright and performance issues, to music

licensing, interference and other technical problems

so as to bring LPDS to fruition.

Suggested uses include (but not limited to):

Live sports broadcasts
Translators for out-of-region broadcasters
"Fill-in" transmitters for AM stations (in-building penetration)
Special Events broadcasts
Foreign-language programming
Religious services and instruction
Business news
Broadcasts of town meetings
Emergency broadcasts
Book readings for the Blind
Programming for the Handicapped
Language instruction (ESL and other)
Wireless simulcasts for Internet Radio
Encrypted gambling information

Pocket receivers of various types are already available "off-the-shelf"

to receive LPDS "in-the-clear" broadcasts. Any "police scanner" will

also receive our test broadcasts without modification.

Please contact our Technical Department to receive exact

frequency programming instructions.
