FCC wants public input on what to do with 2.1 gigahertz spectrum

While it’s not as useful as the much covered 700 MHz band, this spectrum was of interest to at least 1 company that wanted to use ot for broadband access. Now the FCC is seeking input on how to use this band.
the Federal Communications Commission is seeking formal public comment on whether it would make sense to permit the sort of scheme proposed by Silicon Valley-based M2Z Networks or others that previously expressed interest in operating a slice of the 2.1 GHz band.
My 2 cents - open it up for public for use with low power networking devices or data devices. There is currently no spectrum set aside for use as a data only band. This could spur quantum leaps in innovation as well as provide some relief from conflicts between routers and a broad range of devices from cordless telephones to radio controlled toys.
