Dave:
A correction to my earlier message, pointed out by an alert reader of
your list.
I wrote:
"Under this regime, the band is reserved for point-to-point outdoor
wireless broadband applications, and users are required to cooperate
so as not to interfere with one
another's signals or waste the spectrum."
I should have written:
"Under this regime, the band is reserved for POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT
outdoor wireless broadband applications..."
As should be clear from context, the TV bands are poor choices for
point-to-point communications because it is difficult to produce
highly focused antennas for those frequencies.
