Google has proposed the use of television 'white space' to broadcast Wi-Fi across America.

The TV 'white space' is empty frequencies left as buffer zones between analogue TV airwaves.

Google wants to use the airwaves that fill these blank spaces for mobile broadband services.

The internet giant proposed their initiative to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on how the airwaves could provide high-speed mobile access without any disruption to TV signals.

Richard Whitt, a lawyer for Google, told Bloomberg: "Google is a strong believer in the potential of this spectrum to bring internet access to more Americans."

Microsoft recently asked the FCC to make space on the spectrum to expand wireless broadband. Google and Microsoft are part of a coalition of companies which want the FCC to unlock the airwaves after the conversion to digital signals in 2009.

Verizon Wireless spent $4.74 billion last week on spectrums of frequencies that would be available for any legal devices.

Mr Whitt, spoke on the official Google blog saying: "We congratulate the winners and look forward to a more open wireless world".
