The article really doesn't say that this is what it will be used for, so it could be something else. It could be to continue their plans to create a new digital band of radio frequencies. Has anyone heard about this stuff? The way they plan on going about it is somewhat scary. They plan on putting a digital radio signal between current station, which would affect current radio listening because FM radio works on ranges and not on specific frequencies. Was there an article on slashdot about this? I think it really is something people should know about and I don't see it as a totally good thing. I like FM radio, and forcing everyone to buy new digital radios and all the stations to move over to digital sounds really messy. Ok, now I am offtopic (well depending on what the usage of the frequencies is going to be).
