[time-nuts] Lightsquared goes Global...

[lists at lazygranch.com]

That is the "white space" plan. It is still active. It is an attempt to use wasted TV bandwidth. 

TV bandwidth is a waste. It is not a growing business. However, the MS scheme is kind of dumb. The gear would sniff the ether and automatically use the spectrum. They should really just refarm the spectrum.

Years ago, microsoft wanted to take over one of the ham bands, 2m or 440 I forget which, for satellites for internet in poor areas.
Swatch wanted to have everyone change to "beats" instead of seconds and minutes.

Stupid ideas abound, but they usually fall apart.

        Seems to me such an issue only increases the chance of Lightsquared's
whacked-out ideas getting shot down in flames (as they should be).
