Shouldn't this page be titled "White Spaces Coalition"? It seems that all the references have the "s" at the end of Spaces. --Bill.albing 16:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we be clear about the etymology of this phrase? This must be an informal name because I don't see anything on Google or Earthlink's web sites about this coalition. --Bill.albing 16:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Google a few minutes ago found me [this] but no official site or indication that they did anything since May. And yes, all sources except Wikipedia give the word as "Spaces" rather than as "Space" and the organization's name as bereft of parentheses or other punctuation.

Well a Google search I ran just now shows three times as many hits on "white space coalition" as the plural version—but the FCC records here here (http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2007/db0530/DOC-273357A1.pdf), and the Microsoft's filing for their hardware device here: http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2007/db0530/DOC-273357A1.pdf both use Spaces; and they're about as authoritative as we have.Snori 19:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mergin White space[edit]

Since the Coalition only exists to contest and exploit White space (telecommunications) and thus there is some duplication between the articles, shouldn't the Coalition article be a section of the spaces article? Jim.henderson (talk) 15:10, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
