"White space spectrum" or" WiFi2.0" or "WiFi on Steroïds" is a new generation of wireless devices created by Google to provide us a new way of connection to the internet through TV White Space(TV airwaves located between channel 2 and 51 TV that aren’t hooked up to satellite or cable).
Till now Google is still working on that project and in the late of 2009 probably it will see the light when TV broadcasters switch from analogue to digital signals.This spectrum according to Rick Whitt, Google's Washington telecom and media counsel,could eventually offer data transmission speeds of billions of bits per second -- far faster than the millions of bits per second available on most current broadband networks. Consumers could watch movies on wireless devices and do other things that are currently difficult on slower networks.Google beleives that this spectrum has a strong potention to give its users the ability to download or use any application they want.
Also Google proposed using spectrum-sensing technology to protect the airwaves used by the military.This spectrum-sensing tech can provide google the capability of freeing up the airwaves when military needs them in case of emergencies.
