[Ecommerce] FCC Plans to Allow Wireless Networking on Unused TV Channels

[Jeff Williams]

All,

  Seems Michael Powell has come up with yet another good decision..

See: http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/05/14/HNfccspectrum_1.html
"Federal regulators have endorsed a plan to use vacant
TV bandwidth for wireless Internet connections. Federal Communications
Commission Chairman Michael Powell says it would 'dramatically increase'

the availability and quality of wireless Internet connections --
especially for people in rural areas. Powell says it would be like
'doubling the number of lanes on a congested highway.' But TV
broadcasters oppose the proposal. They argue that it would interfere
with
over-the-air television signals for millions of people. The FCC
commissioners voted unanimously to begin the lengthy rulemaking process
for the plan."

Regards,

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
