Re: ...

Bandwidth is supposedly cheap, when you cut out the last mile ISP mark-up.

Even when we get past all the other obstacles, I don't see how they could manage congestion. Even people who pay for faster connections like cable and fiber would seemingly be tempted to take advantage of the free connection - especially if metering continues to grow. 5pm to 10pm should be a real treat.

I think the principle is sound - auctioning the spectrum with the Wi-Fi requirement. It's the only way bids would be competitive with one another. The filters, not so much. Leave those for places like China.
