From Shelly Palmer:

“This is the beginning of a new era in telecom. White space is very, very disintermediating to incumbent telcos. Consumers are going to love interoperable devices that have relatively long range wireless connectivity. White space may be the technology that allows affordable broadband in rural America. Inventors, innovators and businesses big and small will be able to harness the power of ubiquitous connectivity. The applications will be as limitless as our imaginations!”
