FCC: Why stop at spectrum?
David Weinberger, whose Salon article, The Myth of Interference, tops my must-read list for anybody who wants to know the impact of new wireless communications technologies, now proposes tongue in cheek that the FCC should auction not just spectrum frequencies, but also exclusive rights to points, lines, shapes, objects, time and other dimensions.
If the FCC licensed points, would it limit their use to pairwise distance measuring?
Anybody want to buy a square? Whadaya mean, tetrahedron piracy?
Somehow, I don't think the NPRM will issue anytime soon . . .
