Any engineers care to throw their input here? Is the spectrum above 3Ghz worthwhile enough for TV, GPS, Microwaves, Radio, etc?

WiMAX can broadcast over 3.5 GHz, as far as I know. Wasnt that specrum used for old style TVs with Bunny-Ears that had dials for UHF and VHF?

Anything above 3ghz (heck even 2ghz) is a garbage band. It's great for point to point microwave, fixed satellite, short range communications (ie, household) and that's it.
