Submission + - Broadcasters launch ads opposing wireless internet

kaufmanmoore writes: According to an AP report, The National Association of Broadcasters is launching ads to target lawmakers over a push by a consortium of technology giants including Google, Intel, HP and MSFT who want to use unused and unlicensed TV spectrum for wireless broadband. Broadcasters are airing concerns about the devices creating interference with broadcast television and in a statement NAB chairman Alan Frank takes a swipe at technology companies saying, "While our friends at Intel, Google and Microsoft may find system errors, computer glitches and dropped calls tolerable, broadcasters do not."

Thinking about it, I'd opt for cow-free steak over steak from the cow all else being equal. Mirror the taste, texture and nutrients and I'm there. I wouldn't give up meat as it is (I've tried, on occasion, it's just too tasty), but if you make it easy for me to choose vat-grown lab-steak versus steak from the cow and not be able to taste the difference? I'm there.

Texture is important...taste, obviously, but people have been able to make some tasty non-meat meat-substitutes for a while now. They just don't have the same bite...
