FCC Approves Beefed Up WiFi

Do you have any idea how long it takes for me to download pictures of my favorite Enterprise captain, Kathryn Janeway, in the nude? A long time. This is because I’m running on a WiFi network that’s older than time itself. I’d be lucky if this thing wasn’t putting out harmful rays that will have me growing extra limbs.

It’s a good thing the FCC approved this new WiFi which comes from wireless airwaves between TV channels. It’s said to have a much longer range than conventional WiFi and is significantly faster. That’s going to make downloading porn a heck of a lot more enjoyable.

Needless to say, FCC Chairman Kevin Marks is very excited:

This spectrum allows devices to penetrate walls, etc. This has the ability to jump-start broadband. Consumers will have access to devices they have only dreamed about. Small communications networks will come into being

Good news for companies like Google that want to utilize this new WiFi with fresh Internet-surfing gadgets. I always knew the FCC was holding out on us. There Internet can always be quicker.
