Free Nationwide Wireless Internet Access?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the large-undertakings dept.

LiquidEdge writes "ISP-Planet is reporting that startup M2Z wants to offer 95% of America free wireless Internet access using the 20Mhz frequency allocation. They're backed by Kleiner Perkins, one of the most successful VC firms in history, and being started by the guy who built the @Home network and a former FCC Wireless Bureau Chief. 384/128 speeds will be free and they'll sell the higher speeds and the government will get a kickback of the revenue."

    I'm not sure our global neighbors would like us stomping all over entire swaths of the international spectrum.

    The Bush administration hasn't shown one bit of concern about our global neighbors' opinions so far. What makes you think they care about them now?
