[arrl-odv:21252] Interesting Article about spectrum shortages and the National Broadband Plan

I thought the article below to be quite interesting in numerous respects relative to our spectrum protection efforts. Of course, the thrust of the article, that there is no spectrum shortage but inefficient deployment of spectrum (and spectrum "hoarding") could be used against us, we have arguments to parry that thrust. What is of some concern, however is the fact that Microsoft is doing on-air monitoring for underutilized spectrum. http://www.technologyreview.com/news/507486/the-spectrum-crunch-that-never-r... 73, Chris W3KD Christopher D.
