Wayne Rash of eWeek Weighs in on the FCC's Plan to approve ......
"The announcement that the Federal Communications Commission was prepared to approve unlicensed digital operations in slices of the frequency spectrum occupied by television guard bands is being greeted eagerly by many, including Google and Microsoft."
"Ultimately it will probably be a good idea, but it's by no means clear that it will be the panacea to a national broadband solution that some hope it will be. In fact, there's every possibility that the whole "White Space" excitement is badly overhyped and in the long run will likely lead to more disappointment than broadband growth."
I guess I am one of the ones in remote and rural areas of the USA hoping this results in new options.
