Aliasalpha: Chances are that with a range of that size, the standard is never going to be for home use in a way that will be substantially different than 11a/b/g/n, focussed on low power transmitter/recievers. Frankly I doubt it'll be even used there, more than likely it'll be for commercial mobile usage, city wide mobile data roaming for example
Red_Avatar: Oh, that would still be great. In Belgium, our ISP allows us free hot spot use of wifi anywhere in the country as long as you are a customer but right now, you need to be pretty close to it for the signal to be worth it compared to the mobile network.
My ISP provides something similar, but it's AT&T hotspots which are all over the place. Pretty much any Starbucks and some other places. In practice I don't use it very often because I'm rarely close enough to one for long enough to make it worthwhile.
That being said, this 802.22 isn't likely to be of much use around here as it really needs open spaces to work. Cell towers around here have trouble transmitting more than about 5 miles due to the various hills.
