Maurice - Also, George Gilder isn't really saying what can be done now in the way of "Keep a good lookout, don't shout or fart and you can drive your nanobox on any frequency you like", he's talking about what's possible instead of the frequency management rules used at present. Which will need the development of software radio, with fast chips, huge solid state memory, and all the drama. I can agree with this generally, although there are some aspects that may turn out to be impractical (the equivalent of the near/far problem has to be solved, and the solution is far from obvious - perhaps there is some form of distributed control that would work, or maybe central control, but it is a hard problem and in fact it may have no solution that is any more palatable than the FCC central control. IP routing is probably comparatively simple.) What I was disagreeing with, more than anything else, was the use of the present tense: Quote from GG - So you have a situation where the assignment of these specific frequency channels just no longer makes sense. Just FYI and in the interests of further interesting discussion. Clark
