Thanks for the response Mark. I guess I have been enjoying the luxury of a single family home on a big lot for too long now.
But this does point out a modern day reality. Wi Fi has been a huge success, and as a result there is congestion in high density population areas.
How many of the people who have installed those 67 WiFi access points that you are sniffing use the OTA TV service? How many would like more spectrum for better WiFi and improved and/or cheaper broadband service?
