12:06More Wireless Spectrum ?

Yesterday Google sent a proposal to the FCC asking it to allow the use of vacant spectrum space (also called "White Space") between digital television signals for high-speed wireless access. They call their plan "wireless on steroids" and promise big benefits for consumers. Join Kojo for a primer on what "White Space" is, and what benefits and problems it could offer.
