The "Open Spectrum" Perspective

Here are couple of links to items worthy of a read if for no other reason than to provide examples of what type of information (?) and rhetoric is being spread as "fact" to those who might be interested - or naive - enough to listen - and many are.

The author says, "Opening the spectrum would turn a federally-managed 'permissions' system into an 'open market' for ideas and creativity." No kidding!

And, "the effects on our democracy and economy should not be underestimated." One cannot disagree with this statement, either.

Are these really the kinds of spectrum management concepts and uses that we need to be considering?
