I wonder if any pressure can be put on the FCC to reserve some of the "public airwaves" for, you know, the public. The fact that the free WIFI spectrum is only large enough to hold 3 non-overlapping channels is disgusting. Here in this part of Fremont, California those channels are so overused it is hard to keep a connection for very long due to everyone stepping on each other's signals. Why can't the public have free access to a large percentage of the spectrum. It does belong to us right??? I would like to see the public get access to some prime frequencies that aren't attenuated by 10db for every tree that the signal goes through. The old TV 700Mhz spectrum would be ideal in this regard. Of course, this is a pipe dream. The FCC will sell our airwaves to the same folks they always sell our airwaves to -- some oligopoly that will make sure the public only gets to use them at 25 cents / minute if at all. -wolfgang _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
