In U.S. is planning something which could be the next logical evolutionary step in Internet access: WiFi network that would operate nationally regardless of the place where you are, free and also reaching speeds that would normally only find on ADSL networks and fiber optics.
Apparently the idea has come from the same U.S. government from the Federal Communications Commission , the agency charged with regulating telecommunications in the country and based on installing a giant Wi-Fi network covering the whole country.
The direct benefits are many facing the city because it would be an effective way to provide universal Internet access literally. No matter what level you have economic or secluded place where you live, you could always have access to this network.
On the opposite side are also problems. The first is the logical opposition of the leading providers of Internet access in the country that would like their clientele would disappear overnight.
The second point (theoretically) negative is to put the system in place would have to use part of the wave frequencies currently occupied by television signals (some will say that this is an extra edge). Moreover, the TV as we know it seems destined to disappear. Perhaps a future boost to television programs broadcast exclusively over the Internet.
We talked to do not much of tec.nologia.com networks to 100Gbps with a range of 200km action designed by DARPA, so the idea would not be too far from reality. The big question that will surely be doing that if the idea is eventually exported outside the U.S., especially if you live in countries where regulatory agencies seem more concerned to maintain the economic benefits of the big phone companies.
