Google to make white space wireless announcement in wake of FCC auctions

Details are a bit sparse, but according to CNET, in the wake of this week's non-defeat in the FCC spectrum auctions, Google is planning a press call to publicly discuss its intentions to continue lobbying the FCC to favor the pursuit of white space data transmissions. We know Google's all joined up with Microsoft, Intel, and a number of other triple-a companies in the white space coalition -- which intends to provide dynamic wireless access on shreds and scraps of unused radio spectrum, bringing the world a step closer to the magical land of software defined radios -- but exactly what G will be announcing we won't find out until next week.
