If I remember right, T-mobile didn't have any issues with free broadband. They had concerns that this would cause interference with the 2100 band they use for 3G but with some simple modifications this interference could be avoided and with adequate testing to make sure that there isn't any type of interference to T-mobiles 3G they will most likely back down. Now for the Dixie Chicks they are completely Anti-Bush and I don't blame them so if this comes up again once Obama is in office who knows if they will still be so against how to use white space I wouldn’t say it is completely dead in the water.

They already voted to approve White Space broadband. This vote was about auctioning off spectrum in the AWS-3 (2155-2180 MHz) band, with the condition that whoever buys it must deploy at least 768kbps, smut-filtered wireless to 95% of the country in ten years time. T-Mobile and incumbent carriers lobbied against it because they don't want the added competition, and they want that spectrum with no conditions attached. You’ve got this wrong.

Can someone help me out here??? I don’t understand, I thought the White Space Coalition was trying to use UNLICENSED spectrum and a vote was already made that they were allowed to do it?
