They just snagged the 700 MHz spectrum because they know how to borrow billions of dollars to win licenses at auction. Licensing the TV white space would give AT&T and Verizon a total lock on all the remaining spectrum that the "real" WISP industry could use to compete with AT&T and Verizon. Auctioning this spectrum could well spell the end of the "real" WISP business. What is the "real" WISP business??? It is WISPs as we know them today, the broadband wireless pioneers who proved that wireless broadband would really work to deliver Internet access. AT&T and Verizon consider themselves as broadband wireless providers also (3G is certainly broadband wireless). They just don't call themselves "WISPs". The incumbent telco/cellular monopolists would just love use their big bucks and corporate lobbying power to finally kill their off their competitors who legitimized the broadband wireless industry in the first place. jack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Fyi.
