The Federal Communications Commission has been batting around the idea of authorizing a nationwide wireless broadband network, complete with content filtering designed to keep pornography and other adult materials off the public airwaves…and off of kids’ computers, PSPs, Nintendo DSs, phones, iPods, and other Wi-Fi enabled devices. However, some wireless providers have been skeptical of the idea, arguing that allowing operations in the AWS-3 band (from 2155 to 2180 MHz) would interfere with existing operators’ system in the AWS-1 band (from 2110 to 2155 MHz). Chief among the protesters was T-Mobile, although other major wireless players echoed the notion.
