There is no such thing as analog TV white spaces.

The FCC plan for using the guard bands between digital TV stations won't
work. *Their own OET engineering studies proved this. *The vote on 4
November was nothing more than a dog-and-pony show.

Specifically, the ruling requires a TV Band Device consult a database on
the internet before transmitting. *How will the device get on the
internet if it cannot transmit?

The rules require 1st adjacent TVBDs to reduce power, even though 2nd
adjacent channels do more harm. *This proves science was not a factor
and that this ruling was pure politics.

Guard bands? The FCC recognized guard bands? If so, how did IBOC ever
get approved?
