Thank you for your responses. At least the government is onboard. I thought LTE was also to use the same freed up spectrum or there are enough frequencies to accomodate both? If better utilisation of the frequencies is the goal then this switching off fiasco needs to be sorted out soon. I have a feeling we are loosing more than we are gaining by stifling progress.

Mark, We are working on a pilot project with the regulator's knowledge. Once the technology is mature, then it can be commercialized. It is the Ministry that sought for the approval from CCK after signing an MOU with Microsoft and Indigo to try in remote parts of this country. The technology promises cheaper internet if successiful. It is also being tested in the UK under similar arrangements.
Ndemo.
Came across this and in light of recent happenings I am curious to know the regulators opinion on this and what technology these guys are actually using.

Why isn't using white space (which I assume is intentionally unallocated spectrum) mainstream?
Am I missing something?
