Disclaimer Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Or... you lazy SOBs could read the link he posted and know that white space is open bandwidth for personal devices in the broadcast spectrum made possible because of the switch to digital broadcasting.

Casper Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 White space?It's the space in the UHF band between television stations. Now that TV went digital, there's a lot more white space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Whitespace is a term being used in many different areas. The simplest way to think about it is "an area to target, market, use, etc. where nothing is currently going on but should be or can be used. We do analysis at work with all of our clients to determine what type of work we are doing at different types of clients and then the whitespace shows us where we should be discussing opportunities with clients.

CBBaron Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 In simpler terms, in any given area not all available TV channels are used. So these channels could be used for other uses.This happens because a TV channel is a large high power broadcaster. So to prevent 2 TV stations on the same channel from interfering they have to have to be separated by a considerable distance. Leaving some areas that can't pick up either station. In addition some locations may have many stations just unused because there is not sufficient market. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingset Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I find the use of "white space" to be pejorative. It indicates that people somehow think Caucasians are vapid or don't have the same value as the other color spaces, and this sickitates me.I demand reparations. Where's David Duke to speak out on this outrage?WE WILL OVERCOME!Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
