Wow. I didn't know anyone else from Iowa was reading Slashdot...
I think that most people could learn to use Google a little more effectively; try this page for some ideas.
Also, I think that most people don't know that the 'ennner-net' is much more than www.*.com and e-mail.
Usenet archives have lots of useful information, and mailing lists are great any type of newbie.
Oh, and a guide to Netiquette would be a good thing to do.
I think that this is an excellent idea! Although, it does not have to be an all or nothing proposition. Rural areas could keep more of the spectrum for broadcast TV while developed areas could use the spectrum for wireless netoworking. Or, what if we made TV "cellular," with content delivered to a station within a cell by fiber, and then broadcast at a lower power than TV stations currently use? I am from rural Iowa, which has a lower average income and education outside of the cities. But we also have a state-owned fiber network with a fiber end-point in every county. I think that it would be feasible here.
