The FCC has been making a big push towards freeing up the airwaves for medical uses, and it just took one of its biggest steps on that front by proposing to clear space for wireless body area networks. Agency officials want to let devices operate in the 2.36GHz to 2.4GHz space so that patients can stay at home or at least move freely, instead of being fenced in at the hospital or tethered to a bed by wires. Devices would still need the FDA’s green light, but they could both let patients go home sooner as well as open the door wider for preventative care. Voting on the proposal takes place May 24, which leaves our tech-minded hearts beating faster — and if the proposal takes effect, we’ll know just how much faster.

(Reuters) – Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin said in a statement on Thursday that he is obligated to and will pay “hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the United States government.” Saverin said his decision to renounce his U.S. citizenship and relocate to Singapore was “based solely on my interest in working and living in Singapore, where I have been since 2009.” With social media company Facebook poised for a multibillion-dollar initial public offering on Friday, Saverin has been criticized by lawmakers for what they say is dodging U.S. …
