| Re: Free or Not ? I don't think any venture capitalist is going to front spending the big money deploying a proprietary wireless network on the premise of only having a temporary license.
Even doing this in a smaller controlled area as a test would be costly as this spectrum is not currently used for anything... and would thus require custom gear to be made. You then loose on the economies of scale when comparing to 802.11 Wirelss networks and even the new WiMax standards.
The bottom line is that spectrum licenses are expensive and very valuable. The FCC most likely thinks bigger fish to catch vs. this limited "5%" offer. |
