Lucky residents of Wilmington, N.C., will be the first in the nation to have access to a "Super Wi-Fi" network.
Officials from New Hanover County, N.C., announced today that they had become the first in the United States to deploy a mobile
data network on so-called "white spaces" spectrum that the Federal Communications Commission first authorized for unlicensed
use in 2008. The county was able to make a quick transition in using the spectrum for a mobile data network because it was
the first to successfully transition from analog to digital television.
