Spectrum Shortage Continues, An Editorial
From the good folks at the CGC Communicator
cogent explanation of where our problems with too
little spectrum are headed. Intelligent and frequency
agile radios only need apply. But when will we get
there? And how?
It seems that everyone wants access to the radio
spectrum. The FCC is being pressured from every
imaginable quarter -- the wireless digital folks in
particular -- to free up more Megahertz. The gold
rush is not being driven by attorneys or engineers,
but by politicians and the investment community. The
electromagnetic spectrum is destined to become a
SHARED resource in most instances, broadcast bands
included, FAA bands probably excluded for now.
