"Trials of a new breed of 'super WiFi' that uses the white space between TV channels are set to begin in Cambridge. Microsoft, the BBC, BSkyB and BT are among the tech giants investigating how the gaps in frequencies between TV broadcasts can be used to transmit broadband."

If these spectral bands are currently empty of deliberate signals (in most locations anyway), are they "white space" or "black space"?

[Are "dark fibers" full of "white light"?]

When you tune to those frequencies, does the receiver pick up 'white noise' or 'black noise'?
