the so called "spectrum crisis" is INDEED A GARGANTUAN "MANUFACTURED" FARCE... it has been going on ever since “The Red Herring fast one” PACTEL pulled off shortly after the original A & B band 20 MHz CMRS allocations were deployed in Los Angeles -- on the grounds that the coming Olympics to the area was gonna see one big cellular traffic jam of massive proportions. PACTEL successfully faked out the FCC in to giving them an extra 5 MHz of Totally Unnecessary and Undeserved (and free!) CMRS 850 MHz spectrum (instead of just investing in and developing additional sectorized cell sites)… the same lies and deceptions have been “working well”/promulgated/promulgating ever since. hats off to the NYT for this timely article broaching this very subject and for the follow-up/on to the NYT article in David S. Isenberg's excellent blog -- where Marty Cooper (and "others" :D) chime/wade/weigh in in the comments section: Carriers Warn of Crisis in Mobile Spectrum nytimes.com isen.com be sure to also read the outstanding Salon article (mentioned in the above isen blog post) on: The Myth of Interference where Internet architect David Reed explains how bad science created the broadcast industry: salon.com as well as: Marty Cooper -- the father of the portable cell phone -- on "There is no lack of spectrum, only a lack of spectral efficiency": The Myth of Spectrum Scarcity: Why Shuffling Existing Spectrum Among Users Will Not Solve America’s Wireless Broadband Challenge Message 26561534 hopefully articles like the this past week's NYT piece and knowledgeable/respected folks like Cooper (recently appointed an FCC advisor, btw) along with Isen, Reed and others In The Know can finally get The Facts/Truth out to educate/enlighten Our ignorant/naive journalists, FCC decision makers, members of congress and other responsible parties. it’s High Time an end was put to this shameful “Spectrum Crisis” SHAM. geoff
