‘Super Wi-Fi’ blankets first county in US
January 27, 2012
New Hanover County, North Carolina, recently rolled out “Super Wi-Fi,” operating in the “white spaces” between 50–700Mhz, where previously only television stations were allowed to transmit, reports Technology Review’s Mim’s Bits blog.
This could mean high-speed wireless connections for the county’s residents, and also the potential to connect to Wi-Fi towers that are miles distant (not possible with conventional Wi-Fi).
However, high-power Super Wi-Fi signals (up to four watts), which can travel for miles, must give TV channels a wide berth. Low-power Super Wi-Fi signals (less than 40 milliwatts) face fewer restrictions. So while there are 48 channels potentially available for long-range Super Wi-Fi, zero or one channel will be available for long-range use in the places most Americans live. More info.

What a trap this is for coming globalist mind control: In-skin receivers, auto-release drugs and super wi-fi added to the current military’s work in thought-control. The first step in avoiding a trap is knowing of it’s existence. How many sheep are being led to the slaughter thinking it’s all greener pastures? many. many,many. What a set-up.

Broadcast TV is tired … if the networks would move it off the airwaves completely, the would no longer face any censorship restrictions. So that’s bound to happen. I mean, you can already watch a show tomorrow …. instead of at its original airtime. It won’t be long until most people can conclude they don’t really need TV if they’ve got access to Super WiFi.
