This is primarily going to be useful for rural areas. In large cities there will be few or NO channels available. The more rural you are, the more unused TV channels will be available.

are there not many spaces? I think this first test is just one channel

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.

My question is how fast can their internet go using tv whitespace?   
Sprint
used to serve this area with an unutilized tv channel and it was  
SLOW.  I
guess if you had nothing else but if it can't go one MB its not on my
radar
of concern.  Actually in our market if you cant deliver 10-20MB  
your not
playing the game.

Dell, Microsoft Launching Broadband Net In Rural Virginia
Computer Companies Join TDF Foundation, Spectrum Bridge To Debut
          
Network
      
Using 'White Spaces'

John Eggerton -- Multichannel News, 10/21/2009 3:47:19 PM


Computer companies Dell and Microsoft are scheduled to join with  
TDF
Foundation and Spectrum Bridge Wednesday to launch a broadband  
network
          
in
      
rural Virginia, using the so-called white spaces between TV  
channels.

House Communications Subcommitee Chairman Rick Boucher, who  
represents
rural Virginia, is scheduled to be on hand as the companies host a
          
Webcast
      
with residents of an Appalachian community talking about how  
wireless
Interent connectivity can change their lives.

The government is currently working on a national broadband plan,
including freeing up even more spectrum space for wireless  
Internet.

Spectrum Bridge, a sort of Ebay for identifying available  
spectrum in
secondary markets, launched a Web site in February to help identify
available open TV channels. The site can be used by wireless  
Internet
providers to figure out whether there is enough spectrum in a
          
potential
      
service area to make it economically viable.
