Another Spectrum Auction?

Wasnt it Bill Gates who said something like "64k will be more than any computer will ever need" ??

How fast is too fast.

I have 500 Mb internet here at home and it seems fast enough with the enormous amount of devices that I have. I could get 1 Gb WAN but why?

You'll never see any auction for AM because the band sucks and doesn't have much bandwidth at all. If you took out the entire AM radio band, you'd have 1.16MHz. TV requires about 6MHz of bandwidth. If anything, they should make that band all digital to allow multiple channels on one frequency with FM quality audio.

I have a Low VHF station that's on channel 2 (54MHz) within a 30 mile range. That thing is about impossible to pick up from my location. Maybe yours was easier due to the fact that it was on the higher end of low VHF (less interference maybe at 76MHz?).

Exactly my point

I thank LG for leading the way on ATSC 3!

And that would be straight to the dust bin of history, never to be seen again. Kinda like ATSC 2, but far worse.

I sure wish that the FCC would stop selling out to the cellular industry! They nibble away at OTA TV and C-Band spectrum.

Let's get rid of the FCC and freeze the radio spectrum band plan. No more changes.

But we have that now. Guess you haven't listened to WION.

WION AM STEREO 1430 take a listen that is real AM radio.

Great sound is possible on AM but most owners dont want to take the time or invest to make it sound this good.
