White Space or White Noise?

Mark Long's article about the White Space initiative shows how many political... errr... technical hurdles that remain for the development of the wireless broadband in the spectrum currently being used by broadcast television.

I am sure that the technical challenges are real. But anyone who has put their cell phone next to their computer speakers or a speaker phone knows that "interference free" is a relative term and I am guessing that the TV broadcasters are looking for reasons not to release that spectrum.

NOTE - I never used to think that my cell phone could "negatively impact" the performance of a plane until I realized that my phone causes more havoc than seems reasonable... Please turn off those cell phones until the plane is safely back on the ground... ;)
