A friend e-mailed me this about today's MDGC PR


Today's PR needs clarification where MDGC said their patented technology uses white space 'in part':

----------

White Space frequencies the FCC finalized with today's vote:

The White Spaces Coalition consists of eight large technology companies that plan to deliver high speed broadband internet access to United States consumers via existing "white space" in unused television frequencies between 54-698 MHz (TV Channels 2-51). The coalition expects speeds of 80 Mbps and above, and 400 to 800 Mbps for white space short-range networking. The group includes Microsoft, Google, Dell, HP, Intel, Philips, Earthlink, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics.

MDGC's patents cover LMDS

Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS): Located in the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands, LMDS is a broadband radio service designed to provide two-way transmission of voice, high-speed data and video (wireless cable TV).

--------

White space internet services will use the longer wavelength 54 to 698 Megahertz frequencies, whereas MDGC tech only offers 28 - 31 gigahertz. Shorter wavelengths have less ability to travel long distances. Nor do shorter wavelengths penetrate walls as well.
