So basically you're telling me that the US government OWNS all the radio frequencies we can come up with, be it 850 mhz or 1900 mhz, 300 mhz, or 10000 mhz, right? And THEY get to tell us what we can and can't have to use for certain things, correct? So air traffic gets a band, CB gets a band, HAM gets a band, AM radio gets a band, FM gets its own, etc. Hmm, I understand things need their own designation so as to not have interference, but doesn't that seem like the government is saying this isn't God's earth, but the theirs, and they have total control over it, which is obviously wrong?]]>Oct 7th 2009 4:15PM<![CDATA[Comments on FCC says there's a 'looming spectrum crisis']]>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/fcc-says-theres-a-looming-spectrum-crisis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/fcc-says-theres-a-looming-spectrum-crisis/Oct 8th 2009 1:17AM<![CDATA[Comments on FCC says there's a 'looming spectrum crisis']]>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/fcc-says-theres-a-looming-spectrum-crisis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/fcc-says-theres-a-looming-spectrum-crisis/
Well yeah, the government has to decide. I mean who else is going to determine what airwaves get used for what? God? ;-) Someone's got to determine whatever frequencies are used for different applications.]]>Oct 7th 2009 7:58PM<![CDATA[Comments on FCC says there's a 'looming spectrum crisis']]>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/fcc-says-theres-a-looming-spectrum-crisis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/fcc-says-theres-a-looming-spectrum-crisis/
the US has sovereignty (basically ownership) over its airspace, coastal waters, and territory and the government appropriate things under its jurisdiction as it sees fit. So you can buy land from the government, but without permission you can't bury your dead relatives in your backyard, China can't fly in US airspace, and companies can't start blasting radio waves all willy-nilly within the territory. That's just how it works for right now]]>Oct 8th 2009 9:59AM
