Scriv,
The particular paragraph that I pointed out that this was timely
because of the 700MHz Auction. After reading the pdf file that Frank
posted it looks like Martin feels that there is enough UL spectrum in
the 5Ghz range to last WiFi providers far into the future. Martin did
comment on White Spaces being used for low power devices but mentioned
they were still working on technical issues. The emphasis was put
directly spectrum auctions being an important part of their strategy
to build out mobile broadband networks.
The FCC doesn't really regulate UL. But it does regulate licensed space.
This means that the cell companies are free to go crazy with data services.
It might just have been a sales pitch for the new auction. (He does like
to pat himself on the back for obvious things).
Another reason for the announcement is the taxes and USF on the data stuff.
And a final thought might be that Congress just smacked him and he wants
to look pro-active.
I did paraphrase a bit but is all spelled out starting on page 7
paragraph 3.
As far as I know the last time the information services issue came up
the FCC was talking specifically about the CableCo's.
Actually it was BPL about 2 months ago.
I hope this was helpful.
Regards,
Dawn DiPietro

I am sorry to look stupid here guys but I am missing the point.
Please spell it out for me like I am a pre-schooler. I am not
grasping the finer points being made. What is it about Martin's
answer that will have any effect on us or other licensed wireless
broadband industries.
Thanks,
Scriv
