Dave:

A correction to my earlier message, pointed out by an alert reader of  
your list.

I wrote:

"Under this regime, the band is reserved for point-to-point outdoor  
wireless broadband applications, and users are required to cooperate  
so as not to interfere with one
another's signals or waste the spectrum."

I should have written:

"Under this regime, the band is reserved for POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT  
outdoor wireless broadband applications..."

As should be clear from context, the TV bands are poor choices for  
point-to-point communications because it is difficult to produce  
highly focused antennas for those frequencies.
