I talk about the Gaf in show 707, and then spend some time on my soapbox talking about Facebook and the implications of recent revelations.

On Sept 19 the FCC opened up white space for testing for 45 days. What is white space and why is it important and the use of it controversial. White Space is the part of the frequency spectrum that is not being used. It came about with the switch from analog to digital. Because digital doesn’t use as much band
