In this paper, we discuss the motivations and challenges for collecting spectrum measurements in developing regions and discuss a scalable system for communities to gather and provide access to White Spaces information through open and regionalised repositories. We further discuss two relevant aspects. First, we propose a cooperative mechanism for sensing spectrum availability using a detector approach. Second, we propose a strategy (and an architecture) on the database side to implement spectrum governance. Other aspects of the work include discussion of an extensive measurement campaign showing a number of white spaces in developing regions, an overview of our experience on low-cost spectrum analysers, and the architecture of Zebra - RFO, an application for processing crowd-sourced spectrum data.enComputer systems organizationCrowd-sourced spectrum dataTV White SpacesConference PresentationArcia-Moret, A., Sathiaseelan, A., Zennaro, M., Rondón, F., Pietrosemoli, E., & Johnson, D.
