Whites Spaces and the TV Industry: Incentive
Auctions & TV Broadband Service
Barlow Keener Jim Carlson As the government looks for new revenues

White Spaces Backhaul:
What is the Opportunity
Cellular backhaul is a bottleneck for Cellco’s.
If there is no cable company or fiber provider near the new
Barlow Keener Jim Carlson LTE radios or at the existing towers, cellco’s are left with
Keener Law Group Carlson WIreless building fiber or paying for expensive special access.
White Spaces is unlicensed and can blast through trees and
foliage. With a large budget for backhaul and limited
competitors, White Spaces radio vendors may have
their first and most significant revenue opportunity in
the form of selling backhaul to Cellcos.
Is White Spaces the new alternative for cellco backhaul?
The panel will talk about cellco deployments of White
Spaces for backhaul in rural areas.
