Open Spectrum FAQ Tuesday: Free The Spectrum. Open Spectrum -- spread the meme. This is an amazing, eye-popping idea that I've been hearing David Reed and Dewayne Hendricks talk about for a while. David Weinberger has done a great job distilling the gist of the idea and its importance into the Open Spectrum FAQ. Please read it.
Interference — which we've treated as as law of nature — is an artifact of the way radio were designed 100 years ago. If interference isn't an issue, then the reasons we started to license spectrum become irrelevant.
In fact, the core premise that has undergirded our spectrum policy has dissolved: There is no scarcity of spectrum. It does not need to be doled out. On the contrary, there is an abundance of spectrum.
Our current policies prevent us from benefiting from this abundance.
