Television White Space Spectrum Approved For Use By FCC

Posted by Soulskill on from the new-wireless-acronym-time dept.

New submitter ptmartin01 writes "The unused spectrum now assigned to television broadcast has been made available for public use by the FCC. This is going to be used for wireless applications (PDF) with implications that it will generate as much investment as the previous Wi-Fi spectrum. It also happens to be the last available spectrum to be exploited."

    So what if I haul that old, dusty analog TV out of the attic, switch it on and tune it to one of these new applications? What will I see?
