On top of that, it caused interference to cable, which could only be fixed by replacing all the coax with "laboratory grade" cable. I don't know who would pay for all that coax to be replaced, as I imagine a lot of installations are done by consumers or by contractors, not by the cable company. I doubt the non-techie person would be terribly happy with having to have all the coax in their walls ripped out and replaced with new, more expensive cabling.

Kevin Martin seems hell-bent on forcing WSDs through before he leaves, but he's ignoring all the actual technical evidence in the process. As nice as another ISP would be, I think the need for wireless mics and cable TV outweigh that consideration.]]>Oct 20th 2008 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/fcc-considering-delay-of-white-space-vote-at-nabs-request/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/fcc-considering-delay-of-white-space-vote-at-nabs-request/Its not just the NAB talking. Try going to a concert and instead of hearing an epic guitar solo or singer, all you hear is weird fuzz and other interference as a few audience members try to check email or some other shit.

I like the concept, but it needs more R&D]]>Oct 21st 2008 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/fcc-considering-delay-of-white-space-vote-at-nabs-request/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/fcc-considering-delay-of-white-space-vote-at-nabs-request/
At absolute lazy minimum, send out the canned EFF email (but try to do more/spread the word):
