    FreeTheAirWaves.com - Free The Internet

    Rumor has it that the clear spaces between television channels can be used to transfer information. This means that in theory, Wi-Fi could be transferred through these airwaves, making it cheaper (possibly free) to everyone.

    Freetheairwaves.com is website started by Google, to have people sign a petition that is to be presented to the law makers up in Washington, to have them pass laws concerning said airwaves. The freeing of these free “white spaces” could be crucial to how the internet becomes more and more integrated into our daily lives. Using the space, you’ll be able to connect your computer from everywhere there are television signals, greatly broadening the range of usability of any web-enabled gadget. On the site, you’ll be able to learn more about these highly useful (yet currently unexploited) channels of communication, and sign the petition. Anyone with enough sense should see that this could make the internet available to everyone.

    Why Freetheairwaves.com might be a killer

    While it doesn’t serve a commercial purpose, this site’s aim is to better everyone’s access to the internet.

    Some questions about Freetheairwaves.com

    When will the petition be submitted? Will this generate enough interest to get law makers talking about this subject?

    Freetheairwaves.com In their own words

    “Today more than three-quarters of those radio airwaves, or "white space" spectrum, are completely unused. This vast public resource could offer a revolution in wireless services of all kinds, including universal wireless Internet.”
