I'm so technologically backwards, I don't know if this will be a good thing
for rural, country areas or not. It is probably just a way for someone to
spy on everyone, all at the same time ;-) ...bobford

"A proposal to create a free, national wireless Internet service got a boost
as Federal Communications Commission engineers concluded that concerns are
overblown about such service interfering with other carriers.
The report clears the way for the FCC to move forward with a plan to auction
off airwaves to a bidder who agrees to offer free, national wireless Internet
service. The FCC is expected to finalize rules this year and could begin
auctioning off airwaves in early-to-mid 2009."
