arstechnica: Earlier this month, a consortium of companies including Microsoft, Intel, Dell, and Google submitted a device to the Federal Communications Commission for approval that would use the so-called "white space" in the analog television spectrum for wireless Internet access.

Not too much is know about this 'white space' device. If the FCC passes it there will be a jump start on using the current analog TV spectrum before the February '09 cut over to digital. It appears the big winners will be those in rural areas who don't currently have a broadband solution because signals in this spectrum travel a long way.
