fcc approved this unanimously november 4, most developed countries already have this available and will break the monopolies that some companies have in areas, another bonus is speed it will put cable broadband to shame

The small company MediaG3 (Ticker: MDGC) is the leader in this field.

what about upload speeds?

One word comes to mind when I hear this guy talking... Telemarketer.

MediaG3 has the answer! I was so happy when the FCC opened the "white space." Now schools, first responders, businesses and even individuals will benefit from this. Great step forward in opening the door to better communication.

TV came out to the public in 1939. Invented in 1920's. NOT THE 1940'S!!!!!!!

The broadcast airwaves ARE public use! You can't get much more "public" than FREE.

[EbilPhish]

This is not a spectrum grab, they are open it up for public use.

They will profit quite well in other ways from the use of the tech, either from patents or from more people using Google, buying computers in general.

TVs are trying to stop it as they don't want better Internet since people download TV shows without ads. This kind of tech would allow for free city wide networks to popup. Neighbours could share all their downloaded tv. ISPs have sued to stop cities free public wifi in the past.

This is pure bull and nothing but propaganda. Google and its Silicon Valley minons are making a spectrum grab pure and simple. Who would you trust with the public airwaves? Google or the broadcast industry? Say what you will about broadcasters, it is FREE and still a vital part of our nation's communications infrastructure. It's available to EVERYBODY, rich and poor. Let Google and their lackys get ahold of the spectrum and you can say bye bye to FREE PUBLIC airwaves.

If you want White Space to have existence don't listen to the CTIA and their propaganda. I'm for new wireless innovation. Wi-Fi on steroids is the future. It levels out the playing field. Example, just image if every electronic product had a wireless IP address............. VERY ONE WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!Remember the oil industry? Well, we are here once again. Unfortunately history tells us it's always the one that has the Bigger Johnson wins. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile...etc
