Airwaves are Beautiful: An Explanation of White Spaces for the Non-Geeks Among Us.

Here's a quick 3.5-minute video explaining the airwaves and the current battle over White Space Devices. It was pulled together by Joshua Breitbart and the folks at People's Production House over in New York City. Currently, NYC community organizers have their hands full dealing with the upcoming NYC Council resolution against white space devices (apparently, the City Council has decided that opera for the elite is more important than broadband for the masses).

The video is a great synopsis for non-geeks and folks who are just getting their feet wet in this area. Definitely worth some attention and promotion:

    It certainly is a presentation for the non-technical. As with most instances of trying to simpify an issue with several technical and engineering components, it comes across far more simplistic than the physics and engineering in reality permit. But then I suppose that's the goal here.

    BTW, no one, including the FCC, ever considered the 430, 900 and 2.4GHz bands "junk" until *after* the ubiquitous proliferation of Part 15 devices (which have certainly been a boon to the economy, personal and business productivity, and the "fun" factor of everyday life).
