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.
Umm.
The 700MHz spectrum would about cope with one 802.11g equivalent
data-rate channel.
And exactly what do you think would happen if this was free access, and
the signals go for longer distances?
