Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisMy interest lies in the fact that the very publicly traded Microsoft and Google will be unfairly enriched by this decision by the FCC. Also, does this action by the FCC (of releasing the open 'lines') mean just regular folk cannot use the band lines (i.e. ham radios, radio airwaves, etc)? I am not a techie so if I can get the answer in layman's terms, that would be great. I noticed a blog about the sensitivity to over use of the band lines. I am also very affected by wireless electronic devises. Luckily I live in a rural area surrounded by mountains. Thank you.
