What do you mean? Whitespace is like a 6 mhz channel. Put QAM64 on that, and you are pushing like 10 mbps per sector. Whitespace will give you everthing 900Mhz did, except less interference (In hopes), more NLOS coverage, and many cases MANY more channels.
Sure whitespace wont be living in the 20mbps to the home world, but still, the benefit is huge.
