I would have to agree. Any "new" spectrum would be "taxable". I would be
ok with that, if it meant new spectrum.

If I read this right it does not specifically mention unlicensed
spectrum but does refer to spectrum not already auctioned which could
mean whitespace. We probably have a chance to spin this to our
advantage unless you guys all would rather just bitch and moan.

Interesting how the 5 Ghz spectrum gets resolved right after they
come up with the taxing idea. And one needs to wonder who came up
with the great idea of taxing unlicensed spectrum. It surely wasn't

Well, it does not surprise me that the government has decided to tax
the
unlicensed spectrum. Today the Bush administration announced a plan
to tax
Wi-Fi and other unlicensed spectrum. It is not clear how they will
do it yet
but the process is in motion. That's the bad news, the good news is
they
reached agreement on the 5.4 GHz spectrum and that should become
available
once equipment gets certified. Check the RCR news site for the full
stories.
Oh well, I suspected that it would not last forever the truly free
use of
the spectrum.
