"As Google has pointed out previously, the vast majority of viable
spectrum in this country simply goes unused, or else is grossly
underutilized," Richard Whitt, Google's Washington telecom and media lawyer,
wrote in the letter. "Unlike other natural resources, there is no benefit to
allowing this spectrum to lie fallow."
Google said the white space, located between channels 2 and 51 on
TV sets that aren't hooked up to satellite or cable services, offer a
"once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband access
to all Americans."
Yeah most of those channels are just worthless snow and if they can be turned into a viable cheap wireless category it would be great for everyone. I think it will get a lot more people to try wireless broadband if it was easily available.
I wonder if Google is planning to add national wireless carrier to their business ideas? I would switch to a Google branded wireless connection in a heartbeat even if I had to pay like $25 a month for it. The Verizon Wireless plan is an idiotically high $59.99 a month. I mean the Koreans pay only $17.60 a month for their wireless broadband why should we have to pay 5 times more?
