Great expectations: using the language of innovation to command efficiency and shift the burden of spectrum scarcity
2016
Overview
Wireless innovation depends on avoiding near-term spectrum scarcity, but a framework for accommodating new users in fields as diverse as driverless cars and wireless microphones must somehow reconcile the interference concerns of incumbent operators with an increasingly crowded spectrum environment. Because spectrum is scarce and highly valuable, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must strike the right balance between incentivizing the development of new technologies and protecting the rights of existing users. Fortunately, the FCC has already adopted such a framework, albeit in piecemeal fashion. Recent actions taken by the FCC to migrate old technologies into repackaged broadcast spectrum indicate a willingness to push for spectral efficiency and innovation even as the problem of harmful signal interference grows larger. The FCC's proposal to permit wireless operations in the guard bands of repackaged broadcast spectrum may represent a promising framework for addressing the issue of spectrum scarcity, but demanding efficiency may not work in every scenario.
