Tune-In to Your Local Internet

I’m always looking for ways to get high-speed internet where I live for a reasonable price. I haven’t found that perfect combination just yet. However, early 2009 might just be the date for me to look forward to. Microsoft, Intel, and other companies are pushing the FCC to allow them to use unused TV airwaves to offer internet to consumers…consumers like me who live in the middle of nowhere. The unused airwaves would be from the remaining airwaves due to the switch to digital broadcasting that TV stations will be doing in 2009. The FCC is currently working on standards for the devices that would use those airwaves and should be finished around October of this year. Hopefully the price would be right and I can finally join the modern world of high-speed surfing.
