While the Federal Communications Commission moves ahead with planning
for the upcoming 700MHz spectrum auction, the White Space Coalition has
submitted a second prototype white space wireless broadband device to
the FCC for testing. White space devices could use the so-called white
space in the current analog television spectrum (2MHz to 698MHz) to
deliver wireless broadband service. Former FCC chief engineer Edmond
Thomas (and current technology policy advisor for the law firm of
Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis, which is representing the Coalition) told
Ars that he believes white space broadband could deliver download speeds
of up to 80Mbps, which would make it extremely competitive with
fiber-to-the-premises solutions like Verizon's FiOS networks.
