The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed this week that the unused areas of the broadcast television spectrum between channels 5 and 51 be used for wireless broadband.
Late last month, former FCC chairman Reed Hundt said that wireless broadband use should be allowed in the same spectrum used by analog UHF television stations. TV broadcasters have been leaving the frequencies behind as they convert to over-the-air digital. These lower frequencies let signals better penetrate buildings and travel longer distances -- a boon for wireless ISPs.
