FCC says 'no' to cheap rural Internet->

Submitted by

Tech.Luver writes "theinquirer reports, " THE FCC has rejected plans to use spare capacity in the broadcast spectrum to provide cheap, fast, Internet access to remote areas of the country. A consortium of practically unknown technology companies including Microsoft, Google, Dell, Intel, HP and Philips have been told that their plan could cause interference to TV broadcasts. The FCC claims that the proposed system 'cannot reliably detect' spare capacity and rejected the scheme that could have brought fast Web access to rural areas badly served by existing transport mechanisms."
