This was not the "white space" plan, it was specifically targeted at either the US 2M or 440 band. I just don't remember which.

That is the "white space" plan. It is still active. It is an attempt to use wasted TV bandwidth. TV bandwidth is a waste. It is not a growing business. However, the MS scheme is kind of dumb. The gear would sniff the ether and automatically use the spectrum. They should really just refarm the spectrum. -----Original Message----- From: David VanHorn <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:04:42 To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement<[email protected]> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Lightsquared goes Global... Years ago, microsoft wanted to take over one of the ham bands, 2m or 440 I forget which, for satellites for internet in poor areas. Swatch wanted to have everyone change to "beats" instead of seconds and minutes. Stupid ideas abound, but they usually fall apart. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Lane [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 11:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Lightsquared goes Global...
