FCC Opens More Spectrum for WISPs
flirzan writes "Today the FCC announced that they will be opening up new spectrum for use in wireless broadband applications. The new spectrum will run from 3650-3700 Mhz, and requires that licensees register all system base stations. This is great news for wireless ISPs everywhere, as it will make interference avoidance/mitigation much easier. Licenses will run 10 years, and are renewable and transferable. No word yet on how much the licenses are expected to cost or when they'll be available."
on the Mana Drain when they detonate?

Does this mean I have to take my current 3650-3700 Mhz base down?
I knew the FCC were a bunch of uptight fundamentalist whiteys, but geez.
Just how much of the spectrum is left for the FCC to pass out. And who dictates the spectrum elsewhere? Not to sound all Anti-American but the fcc is not all powerful.
Wait, are they?

Not only that, if this sort of thing continues, I will be able to cook my food just by bringing it outside!

When the noise in your neighborhood gets to be too much for you with everyone having an access point, do the following: 1. Take the door off of your microwave oven. 2. Place in backyard. 3. Turn on for 20 seconds. 4. Remeasure You should find that you have the neighborhood to yourself (except for those annoying 802.11a people)
A most overlooked advantage to owning a computer is if they foul up there's no law against wacking them around a bit.
Pwah! I don't need to RTFA to know it's a hoax.
If there really was a new Spectrum coming, and especially if it was going to run from 3650-3700 Mhz, these guys would be the first to tell us.
