possibly for fixed wireless

But if used for mobile it may well cause interference.

 That's who they got?

That's like someone picking Sarah Pali...err, nevermind. (C'mon, people. It's a joke.) I'm now putting up the countdown clock for whoever starts the mini thread on the obvious issue related to this story.

support from scofflaws?

it's funny how the NAB is enlisting the support of all the groups that illegally use unlicensed wireless mics.

of course the people using wireless mics don't pose a threat to NAB's business like widespread, affordable broadband would.

Not at all... Once Obama is elected, taxes will go up so he can redistribute wealth bring broadband to all.

So if...

If I say that I don't particularly care for Dolly Parton, does that make everything even.

so apparently when money doesn't get the job done...

just find the nearest sex toy (or celebrity, bonus if they are both) to seduce the politicians and other government officials to get them to vote the way you want? it is actually pretty scary how much extensive a celebrities influence can be. is a wrestler qualified to be a politician? how about a former actor/body builder?

Tell me more of these unlicensed wireless mics. I am unaware of the issue, but I always enjoy hearing of fresh contention.

considering that I don't pay income taxes(disabled vet pulling disability while I go to school on the post 9/11 GI bill »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-9/11_···_of_2008) i dont give a rats ass about raising taxes. so if thats what it takes to get more competition in the broadband markets then by all means bring it on!

At least one of the candidates is being somewhat honest about the fact that his programs cost money and that to pay for them, he will have to raise taxes on the people who dodge most of their taxes anyway. McCain will just continue the last eight years of driving the government further into debt, as evidenced by the way he talks about his budget.

Just a side note, both of the candidates suck, so don't mistake me for Obama supporter.

Nice choice of spokesperson

I have to say, choosing Dolly Parton to talk about whitespace broadband is like picking Brittany Spears to warn people about the "dangers" of the LHC. Neither of them know anything about either issue, but of course clueless people everyone are going to take them seriously because they are famous.

But the fact of the matter is that it will be raise don those that hire people to work for them. When this happens, it will just force more companies to downsize and move overseas which will kill the economy even more.

Afraid I have to agree with you there. Can't we just vote none of the above and start over?

Competition is Dead

The only people who are going to be able to afford to a big wireless role out like this are going to be the big guys anyways. This isn't going to increase competition at all just give ATT and the like another avenue to deliver service.

I have heard that claim made many times - that raising the tax rates on the PERSONAL incomes of CEOs, other overpaid execs and people with high incomes would result force companies to downsize - but have yet to see anyone prove that higher tax rates on PERSONAL income and unemployment rates are linked. I would believe high corporate tax rates might affect employment numbers, but not taxes on personal income.

I wasn't talking only about personal incomes. He stands to raise taxes and put other burdens directly on businesses too. That is where the issue will be in forcing them overseas.
