Super WiFi in U.S.A

The FCC proposes to buy back spectrum to broadcasters to cover all U.S. public wireless networks, considering the access to Internet as important as access to education.


The proposal to launch this official body in the country would extend a network able to of providing coverage to large tracts of territory inhabited the style of what happens with the mobile phone networks.

The Washington Post referred to this as a Super WiFi network, and their purpose would be for casual users and those with fewer resources could access the Internet from their mobile devices without resorting to the cost of data plans with telephone operators. These would ensure that at least minimum conditions (is of imagine that the available bandwidth would not be too broad) nobody would be without the Network Connection

So if you would count this Super WiFi is probably with a much stronger signal than those to which we have grown accustomed. This would be a signal that would reach long distances and with great power and can pass through heavy walls without problem.It is also probable that the measure does not have the approval of the current phone industry that has a lucrative business in charging for data packets sent through their networks and in fact some companies like  Cisco and has informed the FCC that conscientious tests will be performed to avoid interference. This has to do with the band of radio spectrum employ is to allow the use of a much stronger signal than currently uses the WiFi.

Moreover, the FCC's proposal has the strong support of Google and Microsoft, for whom an increase in Internet users in this way the Super widespread WiFi access and would be a market for new Internet users and therefore a potential expansion their respectives businesses. In fact Google already provides free internet access using WiFi in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York, in Manhattan, as well as in parts of Silicon Valley in San Francisco (California).

Moreover the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which tries to minimize the digital divide between urban and rural areas, is excited about this project that can make a decisive jump in the development of the connectivity and the development of society.
