Internet users living in areas not covered by an ADSL-enabled exchange may soon have a new way of hooking themselves up with a high-speed internet connection.
The new service will use a small low-power, diamond-shaped radio antenna to receive data on the 5.8Ghz Band C spectrum.
Despite some opposition from the Ministry of Defence, who are worried that the Band C 5Ghz broadcasts may interfere with some radar systems, the Department of Trade and Industry have ruled that communications regulator Ofcom will start taking applications in January from Internet Service Providers and community groups looking to introduce broadband into parts of the country not served by other forms of broadband.
"Opening this band is expected to boost the development of fixed wireless access services, such as low cost internet access in areas not currently reached by broadband services," explained the Department.
A three-month trial is already underway in Ballingry in Fife, Pwllheli in Wales, Porthleven in Cornwall and Campsie in Northern Ireland. The first licences will be available from the start of February, report the BBC.

Woo..This is exciting news.
Especially since registering 26 people from the phonebook has so far only seen an increase of 1 on the registration barometer.
Thanks for that.
