LISTen: An LISNews.org Program -- Episode #202

June 17, 2012 - 11:56pm — StephenK

This week's episode contains a bit of a cross-cutting discussion about spectrum in the United States, the purported "spectrum crunch" in the United States, and why some of the domestic proposals on the table for solving such really do not mesh well with today's planet-wide knowledge ecology. A news miscellany is also presented.
