"and the technogeeks said LET THERE BE LIGHT!"
Why does it always take forever and a day for new (worthwhile) technologies to make it mainstream?
I just can't wait for the BIG waves to be open soon, I already have a new concept for a chunk of that bandwidth that may bring tablet computing (and digitial media) to the masses. I've coined it "SmartPaper" for now. (think something like the LCARS PADD from StarTrek TNG, only paper thin and flexible to boot. *wink*)

I think everyone should just get a HDTV and everyone is satisfied. I pick up about 40ish channels via over the air HD...cant beat that...I still have cable, cause the kids wanted their cartoon channels...but still...
