Josh, I have to take issue with your assertion that TVWS has been a shit show for at least 10 years. I think it has been a complete shit show ever since they came up with the idea, maybe 20 to 25 years ago. Technically you are correct it is at least 10 years. But it has never risen to the level of being anything less than a complete mess. It has always had such promise, and never lived up to any of it.
