A television white space (TVWS) is an unused spectrum band in the TV broadcasting band. This unused band of frequency in TV channels can be used for different applications that benefit the people. TVWS, with its accompanying communications technologies, has promising uses and advantages in wireless systems. TVWS can replace or co-exist with other communications systems. However, gauging the technological transitions for the adoption of the TVWS system is sometimes overlooked. This paper developed a set of questions that could gauge and evaluate the level of adoption and implementation of a country's TVWS communications based on Davis's proposed technological transition architecture framework. The technological assessment developed in this paper leads to a better understanding of the niche, regime, and landscape considerations in implementing TVWS systems.
