Errata or comment

The UK regulator Ofcom has held a Pilot of TV white space (TVWS) technology in the UK. On the basis of the results of this Pilot, Ofcom has varied its calculations of allowed white space device equivalent isotropically radiated powers (EIRP). Further, the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) 2015 has assigned 694-790 MHz to mobile broadband on a co-primary basis, in International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Region 1 (which includes the UK/EU). Fundamental observations on the effects of these changes on TVWS availability in the UK are provided.
