it's available as part15 spectrum and there is equipment from a few manufacturers. BUT the TV broadcasters fought the rules so vigorously that it isn't very viable for consumer internet needs. the channel sizes are 6MHz (there might be channel bonding now to get it to 12MHz but i stopped paying attention long ago) and the mask on the channels are really tight so it's difficult to use more than 4MHz, so basically throughput is really low. probably only good for IoT stuff nowadays.
oh there's also the goofy height above average terrain HAAT rules to contend with. and everything has to talk back to a SaS server to authorize use. pretty much a cluster f*ck of rules and regs that makes it unusable for netflix type of interwebs. -sean On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 7:34 PM, Steve Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > This was supposed to be like putting a monkey in shoes, but then it went > silent, is it essentially a dead duck or is there still something > happenning? >
