White Space Spectrum

“In the white space and unlicensed operations section, we propose measures that…would make a substantial amount of spectrum available for unlicensed uses, including a significant portion that would be available on a uniform nationwide basis for the first time. Television white spaces will continue to be available for unlicensed use in the repacked television band.” Ref: NPRM 12-118
