FCC Approves Unlicensed Use of White-Space Spectrum

sidesh0w was one of a number of readers to alert us to the FCC's unanimous decision approving unlicensed devices to use the white spaces of the spectrum unused by television broadcasters, provided they take certain precautions not to interfere with licensed users. "Denying a tremendous last-minute lobbying effort by broadcasters, the vote on white space devices went ahead as planned today after a several-hour delay at FCC headquarters. When the vote came, though, it was unanimous. For the Democrats on the Commission, the devices are appealing because they offer a potential new avenue for broadband services, while the Republicans are pleased for the same reasons, but love the fact that this is a deregulatory order that focuses on less regulation and more competition."

Do they think they are allowing white space broadcasts into my grey matter. Hopefully our new black president can save me from cancer.

It's taken 10 years to find someone else that will talk about their experiences with this hack. It has been named "Subversionhack" or just plain "Subversion".

If you've ever been hit by this you'll soon see that it affects computers with no wireless cards, allowing for Ultra high frequency (UHF, VHF, etc.) receptions (see FCC warning label on your computer) using a techniques of code replacement, i.e. chip crowding or just a plain re-flash of non-flash-able chips. It can also be achieved through kernel kits written in assembly.

This has been so under the radar (no pun intended) for so long people will call you names for just considering it.

Find out for yourself.

Why do you think the Air Force wants to go with custom networking protocols?

Because they can't beat it.

now that we have a black president

[Anonymous Coward]

does that mean the politics section will suddenly disappear so any criticism of him will be modded to hell as off-topic?

Re:What about the Ghosts?

[hellwig]

Oh man, I accidently modded this Offtopic, what the hell, why isn't there a confirmation or something. Thankfully my actions aren't overpowering to this system.

Anyway, I never saw that White Noise movie with Michael Keaton, but if licensing the White Spaces would have prevented it, then I'm all for it.

Oh, I can undo the moderation by posting this very comment. Awesome.

Good news just keep coming in

are you going to apologize to all of us when it turns out that obama's campaign promises are lies?
