Google, along with Microsoft, Dell, Intel, HP and Philips are pretty hot on devices that use white spaces—unused tiny blocks of the TV spectrum band that are prem-o for high-speed wireless. Billy G, for instance, wants to use it to make Wi-Fi even awesomer. So Google’s announcement they’re holding a press conference at 11:30 AM on Monday to speak about a white spaces filing with the FCC definitely has our eyebrow in a perked arch. They didn’t play to win the 700MHz auction, so what exactly do they wanna do with this tiny slab of wireless goodness? [CNET, Image via Flickr]
