From Ars Technica on November 4
"The Federal Communications Commission today approved unlicensed wireless devices that operate in the empty "white space" between TV channels. In other words, after four years of effort, "white space" devices have received a unanimous green light."
Lobbyists tried hard to defeat this movement. Broadcasters did not want to simply "give it away." In the end though, the unanimous decision had bipartisan support.
Bother Democrats and Republicans on the FCC agreed. Appealing points included:
Creates A New Avenue for Broadband
Encourages Competition
Less Regulation
