Unlicensed wireless has become an industry, with hundreds of millions of radios in use today. These devices range from short-range wireless computer keyboards to microwave links with ranges of several miles. Among the most well known are wireless local area networks (WLANs) often referred to as Wi-Fi or 802.11.
This conference will review the development of unlicensed wireless policy with the goal of assisting How Wi-Fi Got Its Regulatory Goovescholars in understanding how the current unlicensed policies came into being. It looks at the interplay between regulation and innovation and examines policy initiatives from industry and from inside the government. It also reviews technological and market responses to changes in regulation. The speakers include several individuals who were deeply involved with the development of unlicensed policy and of standards and devices that operated under that policy. This conference should prove informative to people interested in either spectrum policy generally or unlicensed wireless in particular. It may also interest students of regulation, innovation, or, more widely, law and economics.... <http://www.iep.gmu.edu/UnlicensedWireless.php> -- Jack Unger - President, Ask-Wi.Com, Inc.
