FCC begins testing mysterious "white space" wireless broadband device

I have been following this whole thing about "white space" for a few months and thought it would be interesting to see what you guys thought about this whole deal. Basically, the FCC doesnt really have an idea of what to do with the analog channels that will be open to use after the conversion to digital. I think its pretty cool that companies are trying to develop new and improved ways to use this "Space" as they call it. I think this would be a great way to get some new technology into play. I think it would be a pretty cool idea for the FCC to allow it to be a open source so that things like wifi in the park could happen and quite possibly like the article says being able to provide dsl and cable internet to areas that were not able to get it. I think that is should be free in some cases like being able to use free wifi in the park, and charging the big companies like Comcast/Att and all thoughs companies. But as you know the FCC most likely use it as a way to gain money, but we will see.
