A really thrilling posting from the Google blog and plenty of interesting opinions from those who've linked to it.


FreeAirWaves.com is an initiative to free up the "white spaces" for public use.

This can be utilised to bring the world closer to my idea of omnipresent wi-fi paradise! Minnie from Google called it wi-fi 2.0 (but she preferred the name "wi-fi on steroids"! =)
