Re: Add affirmative action to the bidding

It makes perfect sense. WiFi is confined to a tiny part of two bands where propagation is limited. There is intense interference between devices when more than about three or four try to occupy the same airspace (like in a large apartment or condo building). Which then leads to basically illegal modifications and power boosting to get past the interference a la CB radio. The WiFi devices are also confined to share space with other Part 15 devices.

The UHF TV band is entirely different.

As a practical matter, even if permitted, you'll never see any deployment in those "under-served" areas. There is no money it it or they would already be 'served'.

There is already a real third alternative to dsl/cable in unlicensed spectrum. They are called WISPs. See if you can find one and next time check your facts before posting.
