Group blog on unlicensed spectrum

By at 11:39 pm Wednesday, Jun 2

Kevin Werbach has launched a group blog on Unlicensed Spectrum advocacy, with Clay Shirky, Andrew Odlyzko, and David Isenberg contributing:
The site focuses on the benefits of reallocating low-frequency wireless capacity from broadcasting to unlicensed applications, both here and around the world. There is a huge amount of capacity which could be used for two-way applications like broadband to the home, but which is locked up in broadcast allocations based on 1950s technology. Freeing up that capacity could create massive opportunities for innovation, and could dramatically lower the costs of wireless connectivity in developing countries.
