White Space Broadband Needed Here!

I will be very disappointed if the White Space ISP's do not begin deploying service in this area. Unlike a metropolitan area it is impossible to predict if broadband will be available at any home in this area. An ISP representative told me that I am in a suburban area, which is an area transitioning from rural to metropolitan. Their albi is that it is impossible for incumbent ISP's to serve all homes. It appears that the ISP's are only putting their money in equipment to offer service in newly created subdivisions. Many homes outside of those subdivisions are simply not served by broadband via Cable or DSL. There seems to be more Wild Blue and Hughes Net antennas in this area than I have seen anywhere else. I do hope that the White Space providers start providing service in this area first.

There will never be such a thing as "whitespace broadband," it is physically impossible and an oxymoron.

You know I can understand why the incumbent providers do not want people in the suburbs to have broadband.But I will never understand how come so many regular people are so against people who leave a quarter mile out of town from having broadband????
