Peter Rojas breaks the open spectrum party line to the masses in today' new york times (page g7, "what's next") This is the easy to understand version of the stuff David Reed (extensively quoted in the article) has been preaching for some time. Short summary: wireless radio spectrum is not limited. In fact, with the right hardware in place, data carrying capacity increases as the number of wireless devices in a given area increases. This is promised land type stuff.
I'm writing this from my mobile (and I'd sure like some more bandwidth) so I won't include links right now, but you could search my page for 'reed' or 'mesh' or 'ad-hoc' and find lots of stuff if you are curious.
