The proposal is to use some of the spectrum that will be freed up when broadcast stations go digital. It's not really free "internet" but free communications between computers. The "internet" would come into play when some individual or company has a true high speed connection and shares it out. Who pays for it? Individuals would buy the equipment and share (freely or not) their connection. These radios would be like CB radios. Who regulates CB radios? The FCC puts out the specs, radio manufacturers build to that, and the FCC tests them to ensure compliance. More complicated but the same principal. <br> <br> I live outside ATL and don't have access. I'm moving eight tenths of a mile down the street and will have a 16Mb connection. And forget about satellite internet. I had nothing but problems.
