This is great, especially for rural areas which this works the best in anyway, and is undeserved by the carriers or not served at all.
Having many options (or paths) for data to flow is a win for everyone (Consumers, equipment manufactures, Google, etc), except for the telcomms. They are the only losers, so they will fight tooth and nail to prevent anything other then their expensive networks.
Hopefully, whoever wins in November rules in favor of the majority and pushes for more ways to get on the net.

I think there was an article either in IN or somewhere else that I read that Google was going up to bat for this "white space." It boils down to very cool possibilities.

Agreed. Rural especially needs these services. I know my family still doesn't have high speed and can't get it! I think some of these mesh networks are pretty fascinating as well.
