  • Google basically lost the FCC airwave auction and wants other airwaves for free. The free the airwaves movement basically wants to control of the airwaves that are presently used for radio microphones. Most people may not realize the importance of this spectrum, but enjoy the benefits of it every day. Motion pictures, TV, concerts, broadway type shows & church services use radio microphones. Without the benefit of these microphones the sound quality of these could go down the tubes.

  • Good points. This is the one and only good spectrum that the public wants free unlicenced access to.

    How about the FCC setting some bandwidth metering and user identification rules though? Bandwidth metering and user identification rules could be to make a standard for how users are aware of the bandwidth that they use and the possible cost that the bandwidth has, depending on who provided that bandwidth initially.

    So yes about everyone getting access, but perhaps also yes to controlled access
