You assume everyone lives where there are traffic jams. Here in NY outside of that city, it’s not an unusual occurrence that you are sitting at the traffic light by yourself. We consider heavy traffic when there are 3 or 4 cars waiting at the light. WE can almost always assume that a trip that is 60 miles takes about 60 minutes. That’s our reality here as is most of the areas I traveled all over the US building cellular networks.
When 92% of the population lives in about 8% of the land area in the US, shoving solutions to problems that typically only apply to that 8% land area causes grief. The broad paintbrush approach dictated by people who don’t have a wide field of view, well it kind of sucks to the rest of us who decided not to live in that 8% area. When you have to mandate things rather than get voluntary cooperation, well the ideas are probably not as good as you want to believe and that certainly does not show leadership. As a WISP I am sure you can relate. Spectrum policy in the US is based on that 8% of the land area. All the crying about spectrum congestion is simply a fallacy outside those areas. Take a spectrum analyzer and scan around outside of the top NFL markets, count the hundreds of thousands of megahertz where there is zero activity.
