Abstract
The UK has long held a reputation for innovation in the TV bands. This chapter explains how the UK regulator's (Ofcom) openness to innovation, together with long established TV industry collaboration, enabled a robust regulatory framework for TV white spaces to be put in place. This chapter considers how the UK broadcasting heritage led up to this point and shapes the TV white spaces capacity availability. It also considers how industry cooperation in substantive trials produced results that encouraged the regulator to finalise its framework development and enact the required regulation, by the start of 2016.
