Hi Frank, >>I began to describe a multi-domain scenario, i.e., a number of open commons regions of frequency spectrum (below 2.5GHz) operating independently from commercial "public service nets"<< We had Prof. Jan Rabaey, Berkeley Wireless Research here Thursday afternoon A Brand New Wireless Day cs.waseda.ac.jp and he described moving from totally decentralized sensor networks to a more ordered arbitrage for spectrum - like an auction process for using spectrum. Lots of bumps in making 'fairplay' scale in unlicensed bands, "give me a hamburger today and I will pay you tomorrow" comes to mind ;-) Anyway he sees no shortage for spectrum sharing, but not as a commons. petere, a Contention-Based Protocol

I didn't always express it so intensely but have come to believe that if the level of importance is not expressed than it is overshadowed by the well devised and funded message from entrenched industry groups such as the oil-auto interest groups. Our society has distortions that have grown to become more than distraction.. they are now deadly to not only out health but our economic vitality. That needs to become understood as a critical business as well as a social issue.
