We both were considering to fire up an identical website just like yours, however, we had some problems. First, neither of us both is a tech-savvy person, secondly, we dont actually know where to start… i know alot of people managed to get their dot coms on the net just recently (due to cheap prices, and so on..) but we are still having struggles. I would majorly appreciate it if you recommend to us a place to begin from, because we don’t have a hint L0L. Honestly it sucks being 35 years old internet literates.. or should I say Dot Com literates?

These guys are already manufacturing commercial-grade white space radio device not just for broadband, but also innovative uses such as long-range radio control of devices and data transmissions.

Think smart traffic signals that’s solar-powered with LED signal lights, with software-defined signal processing, video streaming of traffic conditions, image/on-ground traffic sensors, automated with central control and central data processing. ALL WIRELESS and GREEN!

ALL of the space not currently used by licensed broadcast television and wireless mics will be free for unlicensed use. In rural areas this is hundreds of megahertz of highly desirable spectrum. Even in urban areas there will be much more spectrum available.

This is enough spectrum set free to enable effective competition to the telco-cable duopolies and to disrupt the control of the broadcasters over content. In short, it’s a huge victory for Google for commercial reasons and for the rest of us for access reasons. More on sizing the opportunity here http://blog.tomevslin.com/2008/11/the-white-space.html

Imagine radios that automatically scan for a white space and then signal the specific receiver and then sync up for full-duplex comm’s on essentially “free” airspace. Software Defined Radio’s (SDR) will make this easy to implement.
