Welcome to Spectrum Matters!

Advancements in wireless (RF or radio) communications and information technology in the U.S. over the last decade have unleashed a flood of new devices, products and services, provocative ideas, intriguing questions, political debate and posturing, dubious media "hype" and sales schemes, marketplace confusion and controversy, and, often, unrealistic end-user expectations or disappointing experiences - all of which are helping to fuel an exciting "wireless revolution" of sorts.

This revolution has also sparked increased calls by both licensed and license-free wireless stakeholders for revised and up-dated FCC and NTIA spectrum allocation, management, regulation, and rules enforcement policies that more equitably and effectively address the changing dynamics, needs, and concerns of all wireless spectrum users. And the debates rage on.

This moderated group focuses on MEMBER-SHARED wireless spectrum news, information, trends, ideas, questions, responsible opinion, and commentary related to the benefits (and challenges) associated with this revolution in the United States.

Topics and discussions should be targeted towards business, educational, industrial, enterprise, public safety, local, state, regional, federal government and similar types of PROFESSIONAL wireless mobile communication users who are dependent upon access to radio spectrum in their daily activities and who wish to share or learn more about how and why spectrum matters can, will, or may already have, impacted them.
