TV white spaces broadband network launching soon

If you can get up to 10Mb per second, would it be possible to combine multiple modems for a faster connection? Either way, what does the modems cost? Can you ahve 10Mb per computer, or will it be 10Mb per household or location? These are important to know if you want to judge the actual usefulness of it.
 
bandwidth, real world speeds and latency – are secondary to policy

Any idea what equipment they are using? P2MP?

AFAIK (and according to IEEE), equipment using the white space frequencies are still in early development (pre-Alpha). Hat-tip to TENET and partners, however as I think they are definitely moving ahead in the right direction in terms of up-and-coming next generation Metro-WiFi and broadband connectivity.

@jes : Perhaps TENET are willing to divulge some insider info about the equipment they will trial?

as for questions about real-world upload/download speeds - in my opinion its still very early days to comment, and we've seen some interesting and innovative tech coming out of since that advent of WiMax. my 0.02hz

Yeah, well i would assume WAPA and TENET would go with some sort of wifi, but do really use the TVWS efficiently I would hope that they go with a carrier grade solution.

100% agreed. But this decision (carrier grade vs cheaper alternatives) as usual, most likely boils down to the people writing the cheques...
 
didnt they try the same type of things a while ago with power lines?

Yeah and then a year down the line they replace everything with the more expensive equipment cos the cheap stuff is not scalable/upgradable/no support etc etc etc

Some people dont understand TCO
