It's too early to say what types of devices or services will be built using the "white space" frequencies. So I am not sure what the devices will be called. But my guess is that there will likely be a whole range of devices and services that use the spectrum. "White spaces" are slivers of unused spectrum that sit between TV channels. The FCC recently authorized this spectrum to be used without a license for wireless broadband services.

Given that the frequencies that will be available for unlicensed use do not stretch across the entire U.S., it's unlikely that any company would use it exclusively to develop a nationwide voice or data service to compete with the major wireless players. ]But the spectrum could be used regionally to help existing service providers augment or offload traffic from their existing networks. Or it could be used for entirely new applications.

Interesting here, small companies can now sell their services to the major players to help reduce volume of current broadband use.
