Use of the TV Whitespace

Hello Listers,

So interestingly (or sadly) the TV whitespace that was freed with the
migration to digital broadcasting is NOT in use as CA is still
pussy-footing on the grant of licenses. Mawingu Technologies was granted a
temporary license to test Internet provision using the TV whitespace, but
that lapsed and now they are using the 5GHz spectrum and Fiber to provide
connectivity.

I heard this today from a reliable source when I was discussing
connectivity to some remote place in Laikipia.

Does anyone know if things are \”different on the ground\” than my
allegation??

CA – any comment on this?
