I have to wonder about the wisdom of this, however, since there are only so many TV stations that can be assigned to VHF channels; add to this the problems of skip, co-channel interference, et al. and it could add up to a real mess during peak or downright unusual propagation conditions, such as temperature inversions.

I've questioned the wisdom of taking TV channels Ch 36-50 (600 mHz +) for wireless broadband use. Who the hell wants to use something the size of a UHF TV antenna to have wireless broadband? What they should go after is more desirable spectrum above 2 gHz for that purpose and leave what's left of TV alone for now. They've already taken away Ch's 51-83. FCC is finally starting to rearrange things up in the 5 gHz band which makes more sense to me.
