Unlicensed Spectrum Is a Scarce Resource

Today, the Center for Technology Innovation (CTI) hosted a panel discussion to explore the the future of unlicensed spectrum and how it powers mobile technology on Wi-Fi networks. Darrell West, Governance Studies director and founding director of CTI, who moderated the panel discussion, said that “unlicensed spectrum is a vital part of the mix that enables many of the innovations that all of use every day.” However, “unlicensed spectrum a scarce resource and we need public policy decisions that provide sufficient spectrum for consumers and businesses.”
