White spaces: Technology overview
Aug 4th
The radio frequency band used to broadcast TV in the United States has evolved over time, primarily due to the Federal Communication Commission's desire to make more bandwidth available for wireless two-way communications. When the TV industry transitioned from analog to digital signals it freed up radio frequency spectrum, some of which the FCC auctioned off to wireless carriers. The rest, having been designated for unlicensed use, is known as TV white spaces.

What’s the impact of carriers’ new ‘capped’ wireless data plans on corporate networks?
Jul 26th
The short answer is that no one knows exactly, yet. In June, AT&T announced tiered wireless data plans shortly before the launch of the iPhone 4. Existing subscribers could continue with unlimited plans, but new customers have to choose between DataPlus, $15 a month for 200MB of data traffic or DataPro, $25 a month for 2GB. AT&T says the two plans cover 98% of current customers, 65% of whom currently use less than 200MB.
