Clearly you didn't look at the web page, which lists the FCC approvals.

But this is not a TV transmitter, it is an alternative to WiMax for 
middle range network connections, over which you could run any of the 
streaming protocols. Fedora supports receiving them, presumable it can 
send as well.

I suggest going to slashdot and searching for intel+wifi and look at the 
distances and bandwidth they got out of cheap WiFi and some antennae and 
software fixes. I don't know if you would find it useful, but you should 
know about it.
