I suppose I can see the point from your end, but looking at a larger picture of it, having that information can only help out in the long run, I believe. Just as SpectrumBridge is building the opt-in database for unlicensed carriers, I think this is where it is all headed. With the 3650 licenses and TVWS, this frequency coordination can only set to improve the spectrum usage across the US. Besides, in my mind this gives you the ability to identify interference and work around it, if everyone participates. The more transparent everyone is, the easier it is to work around what you are aware of. If everyone holds on to every detail of information, we get this standoff that begins to take place that eventually effects everyone.
I'm not saying I am for or against it, I just like to understand every angle of it that I can. -d On Aug 3, 2011, at 10:06 AM, Scott Reed wrote: > They don't need the how we do it part.
