Right. And I am selling a bridge made of gold in the San Francisco Bay area.

I suspect you will not really see much gain in rural internet because of the need for the internet to have two way communications. That would mean that you would have to have not only transmission bandwidth, but reception bandwidth. And the pockets that are being used (and I do not have firm data since I can not find the frequencies under consideration, just hype) are probably not really all that big.

From the News article:
"The Federal Communications Commission's report will weigh in as early as Friday on the feasibility of opening up "white spaces"—unused pockets of the spectrum to become available when broadcasters move completely to digital television next year—for unlicensed use."

This does not seem like commercial use to me.
