[olug] [OT] How does upload work in White Space Broadband

[Rob Townley]

We all need better ways for internet access, especially for uploading /
webserving.  So i was intrigued that the FCC has opened the White Space
areas between digital tv channels for public use.  i could see how this
would offer high download speeds, but what about uploading?   Will it be
exactly like traditional satellite/dialup hybrids where the phone line is
used for uploads?

If it is IEEE 802.22, then i would think it is duplex communication, but
haven't found any solid evidence yet.

If there is some way for each home to have a distinct up/down channel, how
far away can a rancher broadcast uploads back to a TV tower receiver when he
only has a 100mWatts.

So will it be one-way internet broadcasts.  A set of podcasts determined by
the provider.

Since the Public Service Commissioners get $75,000, we should ask them.
