Free the Airwaves

written 26 Aug 2008 while the school buses headed home

Free the AirwavesGoogle is being the good guys again. Think about the snow, also known as fuzz, on your TV. Not your big shiny flat panel HD TV thingie, but your regular old “I used to watch GI Joe on this TV and by golly, I liked it” TV. Okay so now remember all of the snow/fuzz I was talking about. Now that TV is going digital, there is going to be a lot of those snowy fuzz channels left over.

Google wants to make that available for WiFi. Lots of Internet, everywhere.
