most countries already have this we are just now catching up, broadband companies lobbied congress to stop this from happening to try and stop competition so they can control the prices, this will bring super speed to everybody even in rural areas. Pretty soon we wont have any more wires it will all be wireless like it should have been years ago.

I liked the narration. It sounded like a computer voice was speaking to us. The reason for the slow cadence (is the word the previous poster was scrambling for) is to allow you to process the information you are receiving and simultaneously think of ho this affects you, and how you can benefit from it. It's 3 and a half minutes that flies by and leaves you with a vision of the future that the quick will innovate from and the wise will protect for that innovation.

Good video except for narration. But seriously the narrators voice drives me crazy. Why the hell do they have the most annoying voice I think I ever heard? It sounds like she is speaking to a 5 year old. Speak quicker your talking to adults for christ sake!

i dont follow.. i saw this vid on "savetheinternet" ... you want to take the "white spaces" from the companies and use it for wifi?? not that it cant be done but it sounds technically complicated considering how many frequencies are involved ...

ps: viva net neutrality

its not taking white spaces from anybody, fcc mandated to stop all analog tv channels from broadcasting and broadcast digital starting February 2009, this will free up the analog band for other use

same here. It sounded cut-and-pasted together...not natural. (Kinda like the Audio Previews on here...hehe.)
