We're probably still months, if not years out from seeing this whole
white space debate amount to anything productive, but at least the
IEEE is already toiling away on two new standards to address architecture and interfaces for white spaces access. In an admittedly jargon-filled release, the group responsible for keeping
802.11n in draft status for 14 centuries has reportedly approved work to begin on a new duo of protocols for "heterogeneous wireless networks based on the existing IEEE 1900.4 standard." The group specifically mentions IEEE P1900.4a, an amendment to 1900.4 which aims to "examine architecture and interfaces for dynamic spectrum access networks in white space frequency bands." Said standard would basically act to define new components for operating in white space frequencies, and with standardization will hopefully come easier implementation of widespread broadband. Check back in a score or so to see if we've made any progress.

What's with the bike?
Was thinking the same thing...
yeah...wtf
The bike came through a black hole, as white space has ties to black holes :)
Young kids, always leaving their crap all over the place....
So THAT'S where I left it!
Dr. Who told me It came from the rift in time and space there must be a torchwood be near by.
Thought this was going to be another Asus product.
Crap. The IEEE is involved? It's going to be ten years before any decisions are made.

That's a sweet amateur antenna farm. I have no doubt the bike is a joke :)
Good to see Amateur Radio getting some front page attention! (Even if no one knows that's what it is)

The antenna farm of my dreams!

I couldn't figure out what to do with that old bicycle I have laying around. Problem solved.

this isn't where I parked my...err bike
BEST FINAL RIDE EVAR
Nice :)
Ok so yeah whats with the bike in the picture lol.
OMG the bike, no extra charge.
Awesome! I took that photo! That exact photo, I have the original. They musta snagged it from Webshots. That radio tower is located in Bartlesville, OK. The owner said he mounted the bike as a joke, and it stuck, literally. :) Still a cool photo and neat to see it on one of my favorite blogs.
OK FTW
So, am I going to be able to get free internet like I can get OTA TV right now?
I don't care if they limit it even at this point. I will never pay money to get on-line. Never!
