Can anyone do a back of the envelop calculation on how much bandwidth this opens up (in order to save the internet)? ATSC is ~19 mbit/sec on a 6mhz channel, so that doesn't seem like a whole heck of a lot of bandwidth without implementing a cellular-like system, which implies that this is going to cost a lot of money to implement.
Right you are. No wireless system is ever going to be the utopia everyone is wishing for because of severe bandwidth per customer limitations.

They had a chance to bid in the last spectrum auction, and chose essentially not to by putting in a single bid. Google wants a free ride on everyone else's infrastructure in order to sell ads.
