IP Democracy: Wireless Internet: In Demand but Feasible?

A spate of articles today focuses on wireless Internet access and it’s clear that wireless broadband is in demand. USA Today’s Paul Davidson has this piece about two Senate proposals to free up unlicensed spectrum for Internet access, moves that broadcasters fret might interfere with the digital broadcast spectrum.

The Washington Post’s Michael Chandler has this article on the great lengths to which residents of semi-rural Washington suburban Loudoun County go to in order to get broadband access. One county resident turned his organic vegetable garden into a high-speed Internet hub, spending thousands of dollars so that he and his neighbors could have wireless Internet access.

And the BBC Online has this article regarding an OECD report that casts doubt on the viability of WiMax. (Om had a good piece yesterday on the OECD report.)
