According to a report from Dow Jones’ MarketWatch, Microsoft submitted a filing to the FCC on Monday seeking approval for a prototype wireless device that could be used to talk over the Internet. Microsoft’s filing labeled the device has having the purpose of “consumer broadband access and networking,” through the use of OFDM for wireless communication.

Although the FCC filing does not specifically name the wireless device as a member of the Zune family, analysts and rumormongers suspect that Microsoft’s music player has a part to play in this filing. Analyst Rob Enderle said the filing seems to indicate “an internet device or a mobile VoIP phone,” that “certainly could be a Zune derivative product.”
