The whole analog TV allocation that they are reallocating is a bit
more than one 22Mhz WIFI channel.  Each 4 adjacent TV channels could
support 1 WIFI channel.

Well for one we'd start seeing city-wide wifi that actually worked
through current obstructions.  You could then support quite a bit if
VOIP traffic (or SMS) over that network.

Pervasive WIFI (or something similar) has the potential to give the
cellular companies a real kick in the head.
