FCC WANTS TO EXPAND WIRELESS TO UNDERSERVED AREAS

The Federal Communications Commission is reserving a new portion of
high-frequency spectrum for wireless Internet users to encourage the spread
of high-speed data access in rural and other underserved areas. Although
WiFi networks are in widespread use in coffee shops and hotel lobbies across
the country, the goal now is to expand high-speed data connections to
sparsely populated communities and entire neighborhoods. (Washington Post 14
