Google wants your help. If you feel like it, go ahead. The internet giant is asking the public to ask the Federal Communications Commission to allow high-speed wireless signals to operate in the empty spaces of the television spectrum that are between major broadcast channels, The Washington Times reports. Google is calling the move a bid to establish “Wi-Fi 2.0” and it has created a website called Free the Airwaves (www.freetheairwaves.com) to encourage the public to directly contact the FCC. Additional channels will free up when the nation switches from analog to digital TV signals in February.
