Open spectrum, explained
I found Kevin Werbach's white paper explaining the open spectrum concept to be a great quick introduction to this topic. Open spectrum advocates maintain that with today's technology we need to stop thinking of spectrum as a scarce resource that must be strictly regulated and begin to figure out ways to open up vast swathes of the radio band to new uses. According to this view, Wi-Fi is just the beginning. The apt analogy for wireless spectrum, Werbach argues, isn't a clogged network of highways, but rather the open seas. Better read his paper -- it's not that long -- than try to grasp this in digest form.
