First with UWB, then with technologies that scale capacity with the number = of users in a band, then with the FCC Spectrum Policy Task Force, then on t= he FCC Technolocical Advisory Committee. Each time, most radio engineers, having paychecks from monopoly wireless bu= sinesses, joined with their bosses to fight us, with the engineers spouting= bogus technical arguments in support of technology ideation that dates bac= k to Crystal radio receivers.=20 Folks like me, Paul Baran, Dewayne Hendricks, Tim Shepard, TAPRS, have demo= nstrated a diverse set of technical ways forward. But the Spectrum Auctions idea, due to a completely flawed understanding of= physics and information theory by an economist/lawyer naned Coase, is belo= ved by the monopolists who control government regulated access to airwaves = worldwide. wins every time. We haven't had any support worth a damn. We're old now. There aren't any di= sciples pushing this. Google, Intel, and Microsoft actively support auction= s and dynamic property rights to spectrum at the same time they support net= work neutrality. When I read pieces like this, I think, you've got no program, no plans, you= haven't designed an alternative approach. Just whining is all you can do. If you believe that the current approach is wrong, put some goddamn skin in= the game! Learn about why this continues, and push for a new way. Walk the talk. I'm now retired. And tired. Today's radio is being swallowed by a hype fren= zy called 5G. It's a bunch of voodoo designed to suggest that governments a= round the world should extend cellular monopolies' monopoly on the airwaves= themselves. -----Original Message----- From: "Dave Taht" Sent: Mon, Apr 8, 2019 at 1:25 pm To: "cerowrt-devel" , "Make-Wifi-fast"= Cc: "cerowrt-devel" , "Make-Wifi-fast"= Subject: [Cerowrt-devel] Spectrum Auctions Are Killing Competition AndFaili= ng Rural Access I worked with steve a while back on the mesh potato.... https://manypossibilities.net/2019/04/spectrum-auctions-are-killing-competi= tion-and-failing-rural-access/ --=20 Dave T=C3=A4ht CTO, TekLibre, LLC http://www.teklibre.com Tel: 1-831-205-9740 _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list Cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
