In 2017, Microsoft announced a pilot program to provide access to rural areas that lack broadband via unused, low-powered television channels, known as white spaces.  However, the project faces opposition from television broadcasters, who have a concern that using unused airwaves may interfere with broadcasts on nearby channels, as well the costs of developing devices compatible with the technology (Tam, 2017; Kang, 2017).
