[1st-mile-nm] FCC UNLEASHES 25 MHz OF SPECTRUM

[Richard Lowenberg]

This FCC announcement is an early piece of the complex,
contentious and 'does-not-go-far-enough' National Broadband Plan  
rollout.
The 25 Megahertz release is a small portion of the 300 and 500 Megaherz
of spectrum which the FCC intends to open up over the next 5 and 10  
years.
There are many competing positions and interests in how that spectrum  
will
be best allocated, controlled and used.
