said by qworster:BOY are you wrong-and in bed with the big guys! MILLIONS OF USERS use both bands you have commented about every day-
SUCCESSFULLY!! If you take at the number of users in those bands (wireless routers and access points, cordless telephones, audio/video devices and countless other devices) and divide by the size of the two bands in mHz, you'd see that there are literally MILLIONS of users per mHz! How can you in good conscience compare this to low band VHF where under 50 DTV stations will result in 30 mHz of prime VHF spectrum to mostly lay fallow-spectrum that could benefit THOUSANDS of AM radio stations, among others?
White space is a GOOD idea-and the NAB should spend less time fighting it and more time wasting their time and money promoting IBOC-which interferes with fellow broadcasters FAR WORSE then white space ever would!
2.4GHz WiFi devices are limited to milliwatts and low gain rubber duck antennas. If you take apart a typical home router's antenna it is just a piece of wire. Don't forget that 2.4GHz is mostly LoS. It is very limited in the area that will cover and that it will interfere. But try using a 2.4GHz cordless phone in a heavily populated area like NYC. That's why DECT phones are being used now, because 2.4GHz is saturated with WiFi.
