Is the government planning to use the old analog tv antenna frequency for wifi?

So you know how we recently switched over from analog television (antenna) to all digital (cable) television? Well I heard from a friend that the government is planning to use those unused analog channels to transmit free wifi instead of television since they aren't being used anymore (since we're all digital w/ tv.)

It seems too good to be true, even though he said that the speeds would only be slightly faster than dial-up. But still, FREE wifi pretty much everywhere?

So is this true or not? More info on it would be nice.
Thanks!
