White space is the part of the radio spectrum which has been designated to sit empty between different channels of used space. The intent of leaving empty space in the radio spectrum is to ensure that signals do not interfere with each other. Recently government agencies around the world have been opening the white space up to tech companies to use. This is possible because technology is sophisticated enough that different devices can delineate between the different signals.

In India Microsoft is trying to put that white space to use by connecting users to the web with the empty space. Implementing this plan would require special equipment on the end of the consumer, but Microsoft said they are prepared to give any devices or antenna need to people who want to connect. Putting the white space to use is a common focus of tech companies and has gained the attention of Google and Facebook as well. In the long term it makes sense for these web and software companies to spend the money now in order to connect with potential customers down the road.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
