It's called the scientific method

While it sucks they didn't get it right on the first few tries, I have confidence the devices will work.

I question the amount of bandwidth they'll be able to deliver and I have a hard time containing my laughter when the word "free" is thrown around by the companies behind these devices.

Google is the one always using the FREE comments. But of course Google will claim that, since all their money comes from ads. If they really wanted free, they would quit preaching and get in to offering the wireless service themselves instead of berating Verizon Wireless, AT&T, etc for not offering a free service.

I can't help but agree with that. Just like any other business, Google wants someone ELSE to pay for it.

My understanding is the reason it's called "free" bandwidth is because it's available, unlicensed spectrum. As in "free" from having to buy it off the Government.

It's not un-used spectrum, more like "wasted spectrum". The idea behind white noise devices is that they find and use the "spaces" between the transmissions being used by others.

IE, it's a design to improve spectrum efficiency. It has a lot of promise, but they need to work on it obviously due to the complexities of interference and not disrupting existing communications in said spectrum.
