Hi Nancy, I've edited the latest working draft (not yet posted to IETF while I wait for other comments):
"There are many potential use cases for white space spectrum - for example, providing broadband Internet access in urban and densely-populated hotspots as well as rural and remote, underserved areas." and "There are a number of common scenarios in which a master white space device will act as proxy or mediator for one or more slave devices using its connection to the Internet to query the database for available spectrum for itself and for one or more slave devices. These slave devices may be fixed or mobile, in close proximity with each other (indoor network or urban hotspot), or at a distance (rural or remote WAN)." I hope these changes help address some of your concerns. Also, since rural and remote WANs and the other use cases listed share a common architecture and protocol messages, I grouped them together (following Pete Resnik's suggestions).
