Washington - Microsoft plans to submit a filing to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Monday, that disputes the agency's recent finding that prototype devices designed to receive Internet service beamed over unused TV spectrum will cause interference, the Washington Post reported.

The FCC rejected the devices, which were developed and made by Microsoft, saying they either interfered with TV signals or could not detect them to avoid interference.

In its filing, Microsoft will argue that the devices "reliably detected occupied television channels," and discuss modifications that may eliminate interference with wireless microphones, the Post reported.

Along with Microsoft, companies including Intel, Google, Philips, HP and Dell are lobbying the FCC to allow the unused TV channel spectrum, or "white space," to be used to deliver wireless Internet service.
