Carmakers Oppose Opening Up 5GHZ Spectrum Space For Unlicensed Wi-Fi

Posted by timothy on from the but-we-had-our-eyes-on-the-pies dept.

s122604 writes "Automakers aren't too happy about a recent U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposal, which uses part of the wireless spectrum assigned to vehicle-to-vehicle technology for Wi-Fi instead. The FCC announced that it plans to free up 195 MHz of spectrum in the 5 GHz band for unlicensed use in an effort to address the U.S.' spectrum crisis. This could potentially lead to Wi-Fi speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second."

    I guess you didn't bother to RTFA, and I don't use Facefuck, Shitter, or any other 'social networking'

    yeah, I read the fucking article, but actually know a little about the industry, instead of just trolling for page views.

    wtf are 'page views' here, dimwit? OP doesnt look like he was trolling either, and you're probably a 16 year old kid in mom's basement. enlighten us oh wise one since you know so much about the fucking industry. ass.
