The broadcast industry response is that the large number of wireless devices that will likely be involved is much more significant than a small number of microphones managed by a limited number of people.
wireless microphones are used by the NFL, megachurches and many other organizations that use them without obtaining licenses. This large group of wireless mic users have been getting away with this because there weren't any problems. Now all of a sudden they are worried about white space devices causing them problems!

Briefly, the vast majority of wireless microphone users have no right to use the broadcast white spaces. While the number of wireless microphone users may exceed 1 million, only 952 users have actually licensed systems. In theory, the FCC should be sending out SWAT teams and busting every Broadway theater, business conference center, and megachurch that filed in the white spaces proceeding and confessed to a federal felony. But the reality is more complicated, especially as most of these folks have no clue that they are spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on systems that make them “radio pirates” subject to confiscation of equipment and a fine of $11,000 per violation per day.
