Re: 5 miles? sure Yes I agree it is a move in the right direction. They (the FCC) must be feeling the pressure of BPL and all of it's problems. They also must have been reading the comments given that suggest this very plan. The NTIA's study of BPL will go much faster now with Manassas, VA. test site going city wide temporarily, this will put that dead horse in the ground once and for all, cremation anyone?
As for 5Ghz band, it will be up to the provider in any local area to insure that the customer gets access. This means that every installation must be customized for the given terrain etc. They could use fiber to get the signals across great distances to the rural area, then go wireless to the homes. This by far is a much better idea for all involved. |
