According to backers of controversial new devices that would make use of the so-called "white spaces" between DTV broadcasts for wireless networking, FCC testing of their latest submission isn't the complete failure that's been reported. Although it's true that the first device, which was tested many months ago, did cause interference with licensed frequencies due to a malfunction, a report ... [ read the full article ]

Stupid. If it didn't interfere, why say it did? Just gives you bad credit when people later find out what you said was just a big fat lie.

I would like to see where this goes. It theoretically makes wifi internet available everywhere, but will it be free or paid for is the question.

If this frequency were to culminate, it would be great if it provided a free broadcast for service providers. This would translate into cheap internet access without having to pay an additional connection service charge for all consumers. Most laptops have internal wifi modems but cannot use them everywhere only at hotspots and home networks. Nextel provides broadband internet but you have to buy the add on modem card. Why would I need to buy that card if my laptop already has a wireless modem? I don?t what to be restricted to just my home network or have to deal with others at a café looking for a place to sit and recharge my battery. I hope the FCC does approve this new technology.

I don't get why this white space is such a big deal.
