There is significant value in the unused portions - the White Space - associated with the TV broadcast spectrum.  Currently, there are legislative proposals to allocate it to unlicensed uses.  Is this the best use of the TV White Space?  The Progress & Freedom Foundation is hosting a Congressional Seminar to examine the issue.
