Washington, D.C. Acting Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn has issued the following statement on AIR.U
and West Virginia University launching a campus-wide Wi-Fi network using TV white spaces:
“Innovative deployment of TV white spaces presents an exciting opportunity for underserved rural and low-income urban communities across the country. I commend AIR.U and West Virginia University on launching a unique pilot program that provides campus-wide Wi-Fi services using TV white space devices.
