"Just like the spectrum used by Wi-Fi, the white spaces will be available to all users for free, with no license required. "
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/sep/27/w1-white-spaces-to-enable-super-wi-fi/
For a few years there, we thought any device set up to operate on these so-called white spaces -- which have been vacated following the analog-to-digital TV transition -- would be forced to use spectrum sensing modules in order to ensure that no TV station was operating in areas in which it wanted to. Based on the FCC's Second Memorandum Opinion and Order, which was just published a few days back, it looks as if forthcoming white space devices will not be required to ping databases in order to make absolutely sure that it won't interfere with TV stations.
That's the long and short of it, which is fantastic (if not expected) news for device makers and anyone who despises red tape, but Ars Technica has taken an in-depth look at why the Commission made such a call. Indeed, the FCC's 2008 Order mandated that white space gadgets check in beforehand in order to "protect TV signals from interference." Essentially, the call that nixed this addition was the fact that this security ring would inadvertently provide "many wireless microphones systems that go to unlicensed use" -- things like wireless systems at churches, football games, concerts, etc. As with anything FCC-related, it's a long and wordy explanation, but those interested in the finer details are just one click away from the nitty-gritty.

-----------------------------------------------
This is nice for new and emerging companies.
It's too early to say what types of devices or services will be built using the "white space" frequencies. So I am not sure what the devices will be called. But my guess is that there will likely be a whole range of devices and services that use the spectrum. "White spaces" are slivers of unused spectrum that sit between TV channels. The FCC recently authorized this spectrum to be used without a license for wireless broadband services.
Given that the frequencies that will be available for unlicensed use do not stretch across the entire U.S., it's unlikely that any company would use it exclusively to develop a nationwide voice or data service to compete with the major wireless players. ]But the spectrum could be used regionally to help existing service providers augment or offload traffic from their existing networks. Or it could be used for entirely new applications.

Interesting here, small companies can now sell their services to the major players to help reduce volume of current broadband use.

Does 4Q roll-out mean they will be selling the phones in 4Q?
Thanks.
I checked my address earlier and the extended area isn't accurate. The map shows my area is covered for voice and text but when I enter my address they tell me that I'm not covered. The extended area may not be as large as they are showing.
Never heard of them, but their market cap is $4B. Listed on the NYSE. The technology is LTE according to their website. 7M subscribers.
We bought the towers from Unilava, I don't understand why they are selling their shares.
good questions.
When three top executives from Sprint Nextel, including CEO Dan Hesse, resigned from the board of directors of 4G provider Clearwire, Inc. the official reason was changes in the anti-trust laws regarding interlocking boards of directors.
But there’s every likelihood that the real reason was money. Clearwire needs more money to continue building out its 4G network, and a major source of such money is Germany’s Deutsche Telekom and its U.S. arm, T-Mobile USA.
While T-Mobile may be the smallest of the national wireless carriers, it’s really part of the largest global wireless company. Deutsche Telekom is ubiquitous globally, and when its parts are added up, it’s much larger than the U.S. competition. In addition, it has plenty of money to fund investments in Clearwire and its Clear 4G wireless service.
The biggest hold-up in the past is that Sprint Nextel holds 54 percent of Clearwire’s stock and seven seats on its board of directors. There has been strong opposition to allowing the T-Mobile investment by a few of the Sprint executives on Clearwire’s board.
Now that the opposition has departed the board, there’s one other annoying little problem. Clearwire’s current service is WiMax. T-Mobile has already said that it has no intention to adopt WiMax as a 4G technology, pointing out that its HSPA+ technology provides far greater bandwidths and is capable of much higher speeds than WiMax. In its current implementation, T-Mobile’s HSPA+ is two to three times faster than Sprint’s 4G.
But there’s more to Clearwire than WiMax, and there’s more to T-Mobile than HSPA+. Clearwire is already testing a very high-speed version of LTE in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s the only existing version of the LTE technology that’s as fast or faster than T-Mobile’s 3G. T-Mobile, meanwhile, has said that its next step is LTE, but the company isn’t currently testing that technology in the U.S. Furthermore to make LTE fast enough to meet T-Mobile’s demands, it needs more nationwide spectrum. Clearwire has that.
In fact, Clearwire has what can only be described as vast spectrum holdings, of which WiMax needs only a relatively small portion. Another avenue for raising money would be to simply sell some of that spectrum to T-Mobile, which could combine it with its existing spectrum holdings to field a national LTE presence much greater than it can now.

Why does the Unilava coverage map mirror the Sprint coverage map?
Glad your thinking.
Yes.
The website showed a number of phones so it looks like a high end phone is an option.
At $40/month unlimited a $400 phone could be considered an investment.
Can you please rephrase your question?
Yes.
The processor has HDTV out.

One thing they can do is skip the name and still put out
information for shareholders.
There is a pink sheet that was selling medical instruments to Walgreen's but was not allowed to use their name in PRs. Instead they said 'a large national drugstore chain'.
The PRs were good IMO.
Just a thought.
According to the pre-reg form it is unlimited.

How many have 4G wireless? ;)
Global cooling.
Search the agenda page for 2010 on the Bilderberg site for 'global' and you will no longer see global warming. The world leaders have shifted on this issue overnight from global warming to global cooling.

How soon will someone be able to pick up a phone and order MediaG3 service.
The site is down for me also except the pages you mention.

I do.
Can you read English? It's $40 for data only.
Virgin is $60/month.
Unilava has a coupon delivery business that sends adds to mobile users. Possibly some of our media credits will be used in that way.
I'm paying $60/month with AT&T for just unlimited voice and maybe text. I don't use the latter (I don't need another vice) so I'm not sure if I have it. I don't have data service.
These should sell like hotcakes with unlimited data at that price.
Once they start shipping phones the PPS will move. When that starts we wont be back here again.
Perhaps a link to a few posts post should also be in the Ibox.
proof?
Hope the seller is done, he backed off 77 finally. 3 days in a row now selling near that price range IMO.
Can someone fix the 4th patent number in the ibox?
It has an extra digit in it and leads to a patent by some Japanese company that expired in 2008.
The correct number is 6041219, the mediag3 website has the correct number if you need to double check.
Thanks!
Fake wall at .01?
I thought I was seeing things. When it get's 'jiggly' like that the mm's may be running low.
Thanks lucky!
delete, I was looking at the wrong stock and thought it was at .01, or was it?
Do you know when they will be selling phone or other services on the website? Will they do that right off the bat or not quite so soon.
Thanks,
easy.
