Don't hold your breath. The availability of TVWS spectrum varies (a lot)
by region, and many areas do not have enough usable spectrum available
to make it anything more than a curiosity. Add to the fact, that they
keep "chipping away" at the spectrum and selling it off to the big
cellular operators, the odds look increasingly long for anything
reasonable to happen.
There has been almost zero development of equipment designed to use the
spectrum as well. The paltry equipment that I've seen has also been
upside down in terms of value too.
TVWS, or the promise of it has been "just around the corner" now for
over half a decade. I do not believe it will ever work out. Of course,
we can always revert to magical thinking like "It will appear in August,
like magic.". Naw. That ain't gonna happen.

Howdy folks,
I'm looking into solutions to deliver Internet to very rural small
pockets of NLOS subscribers where fiber, copper or tower/structure
deployments are not practical or cost effective. If I'm to believe
vendor briefs, TVWS technology seems to be making recent advancements.
Anyone have practical experience or advice on using TVWS?
Thanks in advance.
