FCC Report Supports Use of White Spaces For Wireless

Posted by timothy on Saturday October 11, 2008 @11:31PM from the just-use-a-contrasting-radio-wave dept.

After the FCC's tests mentioned early last month, andy1307 submits word of the FCC's report (released Friday), writing that "the major telcos disagree with the FCC's report that concluded that using white spaces to provide free wireless internet 'would not cause major interference with other services. ... The FCC concluded that sufficient technical protections would prevent major problems.' FCC chairman Kevin Martin's proposal is to auction off the spectrum, with some rules attached. 'Some of the spectrum would be used for free Internet service, which would have content filters to block material considered inappropriate for children.'"

Oh, and what the hell does "US of China" mean? I think you were looking for "The democratic people's republic of America".
Democratic? Not by any meaningful definition of the word. People's? It's clear to all but the most ignorant of nationalistic delusional individuals that the US government hasn't been by the people, for the people or of the people for a very, very long time.
