Query: Towards Enabling Broadband for a Billon Plus Population with TV White
  Spaces   One of the major impediments to providing broadband connectivity in
semi-urban and rural India is the lack of robust and affordable backhaul. Fiber
connectivity in terms of backhaul that is being planned (or provided) by the
Government of India would reach only till rural offices (named Gram Panchayat)
in the Indian rural areas. In this exposition, we articulate how TV white space
can address the challenge in providing broadband connectivity to a billion plus
population within India. The villages can form local Wi-Fi clusters. The
problem of connecting the Wi-Fi clusters to the optical fiber points can be
addressed using a TV white space based backhaul (middle-mile) network.
  The amount of TV white space present in India is very large when compared
with the developed world. Therefore, we discuss a backhaul architecture for
rural India, which utilizes TV white spaces. We also showcase results from our
TV white space testbed, which support the effectiveness of backhaul by using TV
white spaces. Our testbed provides a broadband access network to rural
population in thirteen villages. The testbed is deployed over an area of
$25$km$^2$, and extends seamless broadband connectivity from optical fiber
locations or Internet gateways to remote (difficult to connect) rural regions.
We also discuss standards and TV white space regulations, which are pertinent
to the backhaul architecture mentioned above.
