Re: Unlicensed spectrum in this band could bring chaos The first person who can get anything at 700 MHz and above to go through a mountain will be a billionaire. And will have had to repeal a couple of natural laws.
Who are these people? If they don't have even a marginal grasp on the physics of it how the hell are they qualified to have any opinion on this?
I also love the "white space" frenzy. They're ripping at it like a bunch of hyenas after a rabbit. Once the TV reallocation is complete those will be mostly in rural areas which they could be serving right now with existing tech if they truly were concerned with serving rural areas. They aren't.
added: Got a chance to read through some of their 'reports'. Much of their argument for urban areas is based on use of frequencies directly adjacent to two full power stations, one on each side. That's a very naive assumption, considering that the amount of interference from those two would certainly wipe out any reliable reception for a Part 15 device unless it was dead center between them. WiFi Channel 6 anyone?

| Absolutely right, Doc. This spectrum will be bought up, then sold, and sold again, until a lot of people make money for nothing and the telcos own the spectrum.
Nah, I ain't cynical. Much. |
