Joshua Breitbart of People's Production House discusses empowering people with media literacy and the potential benefits of opening up the TV white spaces, to Americans in urban areas.
That argument is akin to the horse and carriage industry arguing against the model T Ford - those analog devices are bandwidth hogs that are blocking the road for everyone else.

Google basically lost the FCC airwave auction and wants other airwaves for free. The free the airwaves movement basically wants to control of the airwaves that are presently used for radio microphones. Most people may not realize the importance of this spectrum, but enjoy the benefits of it every day. Motion pictures, TV, concerts, broadway type shows & church services use radio microphones. Without the benefit of these microphones the sound quality of these could go down the tubes.
