The Switch to Digital TV or: Shut up about it already!

Getting analog TV off of the waves means that we have a big spectrum of strong signals that can be used for something else now. I've heard people throw around the possibility of ubiquitous or at least more widespread wireless internet, although not being familiar with the technology and the possibilities myself I can't say if that's true or not.

I do know that the spectrum currently used by analog TV broadcasts is at a lower frequency that than used by most (or all?) wireless services, like cellphones, and thus it penetrates barriers easier, offers wider coverage, and suffers less interference. Removing it from the hands of TV channels and putting it to potentially awesome use somewhere else is a great move, if you ask me, and should have been done already.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
