About two and a half years ago after “losing” but really winning, because it was forced open the FCC’s 700Mhz spectrum auction, Google turned its sights to a new goal: the opening of the so-called “white space”. White space is the name given to the vacant airwaves between television channels, airwaves which are increasingly open as people move to cable and other methods of getting television. These airwaves have the potential to carry wireless data at speeds and distances that would make today’s WiFi seem antiquated. That’s why the white space has earned the nickname “WiFi 2.0″ or “WiFi on steroids”.
And after an FCC vote today, it’s finally a go.The FCC voted unanimously 5-0 to adopt rules for using the white space. This means that companies like Google can start getting to work coming up with ways on how they want to use them. Of course, you can bet they’ve already been thinking about that for the past two and a half years, and probably longer. So now it’s time to execute.
via “WiFi On Steroids” Is A Go. Now Google Or Someone Just Has To Build It. Please Do. Fast..
