Re: Doesn't HAVE to be short range. said by Guspaz:FCC regulation killed off that dream, which is the reason why it's been limited to very short ranges. Not because the technology can't, but because the FCC is paranoid about interference, and so they effectively neutered the most promising communication technology in the past twenty years. "Paranoid about Interference"
You mean interference with TV Broadcast, precision landing systems at airports, satellite communications, radio astronomy, etc. Let me see if I can think of any other licensed service that has $millions invested and hopes that the FCC provide an interference free spectrum guaranteed by their license. |
