Slashdot | Revolutionary Ideas for Radio Regulation
Topic: Technology 6:28 pm EDT, Jun 14, 2002

Radio is becoming more important to the Internet (Wi-Fi, etc.) and to software (software defined radios, under the right conditions, could be very important). Unlike the Internet and software, there's no excuse for not recognizing right away huge public policy issues. To foster broader and more informed public discussion of radio regulation, I've posted a preliminary discussion paper on my website, galbithink.org. The abstract and outline are below. I hope that even persons without particular expertise in radio will take time to think about these issues and discuss them. Douglas Galbi, FCC Senior Economist.

Radio communications are going to be getting a major upgrade over the next few years. Hence, the way we regulate radio spectrum usage is going to have to be readdressed at some point. If we are not proative on the regulatory front, it will wind up slowing a series of major technological advances to a crawl.

I think we can already start applying some of what has been learned from the Internet's collision with traditional media here.. Not to mention the effects of the Internet on telcos.
