In a response to the current battle of how to allocate public airwaves, the Sacramento Bee’s Editorial Board has published a piece advocating for the expansion of unlicensed spectrum, especially in rural areas. The board cites a 2012 report by the President’ Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and its support of spectrum sharing. By tapping unused spectrum between television channels or bands not being used by government agencies for unlicensed usage, the board argues that the FCC can expand coverage, including in remote rural areas, and continue to “spur the wireless connections of the future.”
