I disagree that LTE is the best solution for... firstly, it will be controlled by the mobile operators, who have no interest in "the masses", scondly it is very expensive infrastructure - they will have to price it to recover their investment, secondly - last time I checked, end user devices (usb dongles) were in the $300 range - far too expensive for a mass market solution. LTE is not our answer - there are far cheaper technologies that can be deployed at far lower costs with equal benefits - CDMA is one of them!

I think this is a temporary bandage for providing broadband access to the masses, here is my analysis the whitespace spectrum is using the old analogue TV frequencies that are to be decommissioned for LTE network, which if this COFEK people could see past their own noses would realize that the LTE network would be more beneficial to the consumers they are pretending to protect that mark-timing on old obsolete analogue TV LTE network already have devices in the market and international standardization using this spectrums thus is think this is just reinventing the wheel!!

Just to quantify the coverage a radius of 200kms of broadband coverage. Think of the marginalized areas of this country. It will offer tremendous opportunity to the people of this country.

Whitespaces are the frequencies freed up as TV broadcasters relinquish analog and go digital...

Saw this piece being flogged on the interwebs and was just wondering what technology this is and why isnt it mainstream?
Also how does the CCK fit in and what frequency do they use?
