All,
Could this be good news for WISP's? Any thoughts on how this may affect
the wireless industry?

Five members of the U.S. House of Representatives have announced new
legislation that allow broadband wireless carriers and other companies
to use television spectrum in the band between 608 Mhz and 614 MHz for
unlicensed wireless services.
The legislation was introduced by Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) and his co-
sponsors Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.), Paul
Gillmor (R-Ohio) and Rick Boucher (D-Va.).
The Telecommunications Industry Association applauded the move. Agency
president Matthew Flanigan, said in a statement, "TIA believes that
these proposals could provide for more efficient and effective use of
the television broadcast spectrum, as well as have significant benefits
for the public by increasing competition in the wireless broadband
industry and providing incentives for the development of new and
innovative broadband devices and services for businesses and consumers.
