Krim says Powell one of the few public officials who understood what he was making policy on.
Powell wanted to shift licensed spectrum to unlicensed spectrum, but now it’s said that there is less available unlicensed bandwidth.
“Harmonization in the global forums with the ITU is more mind-numbing than anything we do [on-shore].” - MP
Krim refers to Vint Cerf’s concern that the duopoly itself drives these concerns… how do we make a more competitive landscape? MP calls the current competitive environment “internescine food fights.”
MP is an antitrust lawyer and he says “We think magical things happen at three.” JK says yah-but, we don’t have the magic of three. The backchannel observes that we’d have three competitors if wireless broadband providers could obtain spectrum.
MP is bullish on America… he likes our country’s model… David Weinberger is sitting right here blogging this better than I can… I’ll just read over his shoulder.
