White space: New technology to help rural wi-fi notspots

The Isle of Bute on the west coast of Scotland is hosting a pilot scheme that could bring broadband internet connections to the country's remotest areas.

White space uses the spare spectrum in the UHF band, no longer needed for television broadcasts following the digital switchover.
