Today I stumbled upon some very important and cool information. In Feburary of 2009 the FCC in the US is moving away from analog TV to be fully Digital. This means if you have an analog television set, it probally won’t work anymore. Google has stepped forward and realized that this is a fantastic opportunity.

‘The space between the channels on your television is where the future of communication, wireless Internet, and even portable television lives. The potential for these White Spaces is limited only by creativity, ingenuity, and the need for clear rules of the road. The Wireless Innovation Alliance, a coalition of creators, developers, and leaders in technology, urges the FCC to determine and adopt rules that will realize the potential of TV white spaces for us all. Learn more about the Alliance and their Partners.’

Basically this is an initiative started by Google to let the FCC know that this whitespace should be accessible by everyone. This will be a huge push forward in wireless communication.
