File under Articles

File under Articles

Well, it looks like I’m not alone in that hope, BoingBoing.net points us to a great new paper from Colubmia University’s Tim Wu which Over the next decade, regulators will spend increasing time on the conflicts between the private interests of the wireless industry and the public’s interest in the best uses of its spectrum.
