What is Television White Spaces

Proponents of network neutrality seek to regulate the Internet to ensure equal access by all members of society. Conversely, those who favor network diversity argue that continued Internet development in a free market society necessitates price and service discrimination, without stifling regulation. An alternative proposal is provided to this seemingly intractable problem – a proposal leveraging the shift towards mobile Internet access, and enabled by recently reallocated white-space, due to the transition to Digital Television (DTV), and by developments in multi-mode and cognitive radio technology. The Federal Communications Commission has the mandate to implement ad-hoc mobile Internet access in a way that will ensure fair and balanced Internet access driven by competitive market forces rather than regulation.
