White Space

Getting Obama as President has already jump started change as seen by the FCC's ruling on White Space.

On whether to open up or not unused radio and television airwaves for unlicensed use by various devices connected to the Internet. The FCC approved of making the white spaces spectrum available unanimously, with 5 to 0 votes.

The plan to open up the frequencies was introduced by FCC chairman Kevin Martin, who has been scheduled to be replaced when a new administration came at the helm of the United States, which was the reason the voting took place the same day as the presidential elections.

With this vote, the pervasive web has finally arrived because WiFi and WiMax will become more reliable and more available then anyone thought possible prior to 11/04/2008.
