Hi ftth, The FCC innovated path licensing in the 70-80-90 GHz band ( 02-146, 05-45), and continued with a new form of site licensing in the 3650-3700 MHz band (05-56). Cognitive radio developments are being discussed by regulators in many bands, and the old grade B contour kind of site licensing is changing to a more contentious model ;-) petere

Peter I see your point, which relies on regulatory and technical change in some future world. In this world, users at 2.4 GHz are already beginning to experience interference problems - admittedly, far from sufficient to preclude use of the spectrum. I'm no advocate of Malthus' theories. However there's some truth in describing the experiences caused by population pressure and density as "Malthusian", whether one is talking about our overflowing landfills, clogged highways, or interference in available spectrum. If these pressures didn't exist, then the regulatory and technical changes you anticipate would be needless. QED. Jim
