The Other Vote Today

[unixronin]

The Presidential election isn't the only important vote going on today.

No, I'm not talking about the 35 Senate seats that are up for election, either.  Nor the 435 seats in the House, all of which are up for grabs.

I'm talking about the vote that will take place at the FCC today, on opening up the 300-400MHz of unused "white-space" spectrum that sits as a buffer between broadcast TV channels for wireless broadband.

There's some discussion here, on C|Net.  Ironically, this might actually end up making more real-world difference to many people than which Presidential candidate is elected.
