“”You are seeing today the first signal that is generated from
white spaces I’m told anywhere in the world,” said Rick Boucher
(D-Va.), the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Communications,
Technology and the Internet. “I hope whoever told me that was
right.”“Boucher was speaking to a small room full of technology and
policy wonks here on Capitol Hill, but also to a group of residents
of Claudville, Va., the most rural area of his very rural district,
who had assembled in the Trinity Christian School and were watching
via a video link that ran on the white spaces network.“Previously, high-speed Internet service was not available in
Claudville.”
