Victoria Proffer was quoted in the St. Louis Dispatch yesterday in an article about the current White Spaces Debate:
"Victoria Proffer, president of St. Louis Broadband, a fixed wireless Internet provider in Maryland Heights agrees - up to a point. She supports the position of the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association, which has suggested a "licensed-lite" solution that would allow more users into white spaces. But it would require them to register with the FCC, which would play the role of traffic cop, keeping everyone segregated. For now, companies such as hers are limited to reaching rural areas by using receivers and transmitters connected by line of sight - far from ideal in locales with lots of hills, trees or other impediments. Gaining access to those television airwaves would change that. "It'll go through trees. It'll go through walls. It's the superman of the wireless spectrum," Proffer said."
