If the devices you use meet FCC standards, and if you follow the FCC's regulations concerning this service area, and after filing all the proper forms, then, YES, you can use this 'white space' as unlicensed user! At least, that's the 'take' I got from the news release. On second thought, I may have misstated that slightly. If you manufacture for sale such devices to be used in this area then you have to have FCC approval, in other words a license. If you merely use one of those devices, you don't have to be licensed! The 'catch' is that if there is any interference you have to stop. You won't catch @#$$ for causing that interference, the manufacturers will, but you still can't cause interference so you gotta stop. Can't 'roll your own', in other words, cuz you ain't a licensed manufacturer. Why does that sound a bit familiar? I GOT IT! It's some of that 'Change' crap, right? Go after the 'big boys' not the 'little guys'? Maybe ol'B.O.' ain't as bad as I thought he'd be?
