There was also 12Mhz of unlicensed spectrum on the old uhf channel 37 guard bands being opened up as well [1]. It's less than the 24-30 MHz advocated for users of 802.11af though. So that's a plus for IoT I guess. Overall this is a good thing. Reshaping the future of the Internet might be hyperbole though. EDIT: I overlooked the byline, and it appears this article is from 2014. I'm not sure if this is the same bands discussed as those from the FCC Public Notice here [2].
