$10/mo ??

They insist such unused white space "could deliver Internet access to every American household for as little as $10 a month, by some estimates."
I'd like to see the analysis the Wireless Innovation Alliance did or got elsewhere that came up with that price. It isn't in their link here: »www.newamerica.net/files/whitesp···mary.pdf

Re: $10/mo ??

"For as little as $10 a month" statement is the same as "up to 10Mbps download speed." There is no guarantee that you will ever see it, but it COULD, MIGHT, MAYBE happen.

They can't prove it. Fact is, while white space use is a good idea, statements like that hurt the credibility of the initiative.
