I hope it works out for my sake since I've invested in a ton of money in patent fees for this kind of device.

Irony alert!! In this interview Page is using a wireless microphone. Google claims that these are operating illegally, and if Google wins it and millions like it will be in landfills because they won't work because of interference from all the Google white space devices.

Google basically lost the FCC airwave auction and wants other airwaves for free. The free the airwaves movement basically wants to control of the airwaves that are presently used for radio microphones.  Most people may not realize the importance of this spectrum, but enjoy the benefits of it every day. Motion pictures, TV, concerts, broadway type shows & church services use radio microphones. Without the benefit of these microphones the sound quality of these could go down the tubes.

Mobile personal devices are so different than TV broadcasters, a comparison is difficult. To begin with, the broadcasters are licensed and regulated with fixed frequencies, the mobile devices are to be designed to find an unused channel, likely unlicensed.

Secondly, in TV, the transmitter is at the top of a tower. A mobile device (obviously) moves around in location, with flexible frequency; the personal device is a TRANSMITTER. This makes interference so much more likely and unpredictable.

Oops - meant to say "range" (last word of my previous comment)

Larry Page is trying to convince us to support a drive to push congress to open up the spectrum around 700 MHz for internet access. The rationale is not yet clear. Larry tries to inform us, knowing the technology, but his presentation is incomplete. His reasoning may be sound but how can we be sure? WE NEED to know more about the technology. We need to know the spectrum's frequency range. And to know the odds of devices severely malfunctioning in that rage.

The rationale is perfectly clear: to make the internet more widely available. How is that not clear? "And to know the odds of devices severely malfunctioning in that range"? What are you talking about? Why would the range make devices more likely to malfunction? TVs have been doing fine in that range for decades.

How does the proposal for new spectrum make "the internet" more WIDELY available? These devices would communicate through terrestrial radio towers, not satellites.  Where are the towers going that cell phone (internet access) doesn't exist already?
