Re: Here's the problem but the only thing is that the 'TV transmission engineers' is just a new from for some bueracratic TV manager that has no clue on spectrum or anything. the only group(s) that should be involved in whitespace devices is the FCC and possibly the IEEE (to set the communication standards). who does the 'TV transmission engineers' answer to? the FCC of course.
imo, the 'hacking' and 'modding' are moot points. the device could be built in such away that software hacks are next to impossible (look at most ANY device that has firmware, when is the last time you loaded a 3rd BIOS image, router (with the exception being wrt54), wireless card, etc.?). for physical hardware hacks, well you'll never stop people from feeding the RFout to an external amp or to a special high gain directional antennae. the box could also be made in such a way that you'll need to cut with a saw to cut it open and add a nice FCC warning label with fine to deter most would be hackers.
also nice job on the FUD spreading |

References please. I would like to know several independent locations where you found that interesting cross reference.

I take it you've never been near a TV station?
As for letting the FCC be in charge, yeah, sure. I'm sure they're doing a splendid job, pushing all sorts of wonderful things like BPL and the DTV transition. |
