Thanks Jacob.
I appreciate your kind words. Yes: if (when) we have MIMO and
beam-forming in TV White Space, that will be awesome.

Jack,
This is great news! Made my day a little brighter.
Your work and involvement in these processes is just phenomenal.
I hope soon I will see an email come that states we have lower
frequency spectrum for use as well.
If we had more use of lower bands with the new MIMO and beam
forming technology that is being developed our possibilities as
WISPs are endless.
All WISPs make so much work with so little we are given.
Thanks again Jack for your efforts.

The FCC today announced
changes that make more licensed microwave spectrum available
for wireless backhaul use.
<http://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-adopts-wireless-backhaul-reform-part-broadband-acceleration-initiative-and-spectrum-and>
The FCC action makes additional
point-to-point licensed spectrum available in the 7 and 13
GHz bands. WISPA's FCC Comments supported this change.
WISPA also supported the use of adaptive modulation in these
bands. The FCC granted this as well.
One point that WISPA supported that was not approved by the
FCC was allowing point-to-multipoint "auxiliary stations"
within this spectrum.
Finally, the FCC approved the use of 25 MHz channels in the
13 GHz band. Channels in this band are full-duplex (one
transmit channel paired with one receive channel) so this is
the equivalent of allowing 50-MHz channel widths.
The FCC will be issuing a Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (FNPRM) to address the remaining unresolved
issues such as allowing smaller antenna sizes on these
licensed links. WISPA has filed Comments supporting smaller
antenna sizes.
Questions are always welcomed.
