re: My point is the WiMAX paper does not cover any aspects of regulation that foster broader use of spectrum, just more of the exclusively licensed, frequency coordinated, Part 101 microwave use. Do any of the limited number of WiMAX band profiles cover spectrum where completely new ways of regulating spectrum is an active policy issue? I think it's enough of a challenge just to get regulators worldwide to allow WiMAX into their non-technology-neutral, frequency-coordinated plans, let alone getting a wholesale change in spectrum policy mindset. PS you seem to be talking about spectrum that would live under a technology and protocol mandate, accepting that as integral to that new way of thinking about spectrum policy. As I'm sure you are aware, having regulators pick the technologies rubs many people the wrong way. It's in some ways a "back to the future" approach of purpose-built spectrum silos. That may very well turn out to be the best approach when you weigh all the factors, but it will be many years before the "technology neutrality" bug gets out of some people's system, since it's only been very recently that they came to accept that point of view.
