Microsoft carves up Wi-Fi into White Spaces

On The Register Bill Ray reports that Microsoft have proposed running
Wi-Fi in the 'white spaces' between TV channels.

The proposal, termed Wi-Fi Narrow Channel (Wi-Fi NC), means reusing
lots of Wi-Fi technology. But unlike those who want to just squeeze
the existing wireless networking protocol into a smaller space, the
Microsoft team wants to slice up the signal into chunks, and then feed
those chunks through separate channels.

The system would operate in the UHF TV band and because of the lower
frequency should be able to better penetrate walls.
