One point of technical clarification. The white spaces also address the unused TV channels in an area, not just the spaces in between.

Please take a few minutes to file comments on this proceeding. Comments are due Tuesday, October 28th, 2008. The passage of this with friendly terms to Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) would be a great benefit to my company, Intelligent Computing Solutions. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/Upload?hot_docket=1009000856|04-186|TV+White+S paces&Send=Continue or if the above link doesn't open a form http://tinyurl.com/5v3soz To summarize what this is about, TV white spaces are the channels in between broadcast channels that aren't a TV station. The Federal Government is contemplating whether to open the usage of this space to other users. Why this space is so important is that it will allow my Internet signals to go longer distances, through trees and buildings. It would allow me to service anyone in a certain radius of my towers because nothing really gets in the way. This space is prime space as it travels through anything, goes long distances, and also is large enough to support high speed Internet. The licensed lite method removes a multiple billion dollar barrier to me using this space and prevents the flood of consumer electronics into the space, making providing service significantly more difficult, if not impossible. The greatest benefit will be to we rural members of America where the low population density and large geographic area makes providing high speed services difficult and relatively expensive. If you want more information certainly ask me at (address removed on the list copy). What do you say? It could be as simple as the following: I fully support the Intelligent Computing Solutions proposal for the LICENSED LITE usage of TV white spaces for wireless broadband. I won't be filing my comments for a couple days so I have the best proposal I can create before the deadline, but you can be assured that it will be there. You should be able to see my comments, once posted, at the following address. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/websql/prod/ecfs/comsrch_v2.hts?ws_mode=ret rieve_list&id_proceeding=04-186&applicant_name=Intelligent%20Computing%20Sol utions or http://tinyurl.com/59prgr ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
