Quote: 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. I think the broadcasters are just waiting for the right price for their spectrum. Over the air broadcasting doesn't reach that many people any more. When the switch to digital occurred, all the stations around here reduced power. Most by 10 Db. Stations that used to have a good picture in analog mode now either aren't at all or reception is spotty. I changed to satellite. In my view, the switch to digital wasn't progress. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
