FCC calls for more frequencies

WTF?

cutting AM

Michael C -

The entire medium-wave broadcast band (what we think of as AM radio here in the US), is only around 1MHz of spectrum, so it would be insignificant for data use. If you include short-wave stations, you're still only talking about 4.8 Mhz. The low bands are great for long range communications, but pretty much suck for bandwidth.
