Thanks, Bob. The report being discussed is attached. Some of the concepts presented in person to PCAST on November 2 were necessarily simplified, so if you find yourself disagreeing with something the speaker says take a look at the report itself. The concepts aren't new. You can see a lot of similarity in the January 1991 and May 1996 QST editorials. The emphasis on interference avoidance at the receiver end is very encouraging to me; I remember attending a forum 20 years ago at which NTIA wrongly argued in precisely the opposite direction.

I agree, and I'm sharing it with you for your own determination of that value. PCAST is the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and the speaker is the chair of the National Research Council.
