There's a company in Mississippi demonstrating cell phones that operate on broadcast television channels concurrently with television stations. They send/receive the telephone signals during the "vertical blanking interval" (VBI) [*]. <http://www.tvtechnology.com/features/news/n-TVband.shtml> Dave [*] If you're not familiar w/ how TVs work, the VBI is the period of time after your television receiver has "painted" a video frame form top to bottom on your TV screen, during which it prepares to paint another frame. Since the TV channel is not "in use" duration that interval, it is possible for some other service to operate. -- David Young OJC Technologies [email protected] Urbana, IL * (217) 278-3933 _______________________________________________ CU-Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.chambana.net/cgi-bin/listinfo/cu-wireless Project Page: http://cuwireless.ucimc.org
