Video explainer: why open spectrum matters, and why you're about to lose it

Harold Feld from Public Knowledge writes, “One of the hardest problems I face advocating for more open, shared ‘unlicensed’ spectrum is trying to explain exactly what ‘spectrum’ is and why decisions about it made by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) matter. My organization, Public Knowledge, now has a two minute video animation ‘Wireless Spectrum: How To Use It And Why You Might Lose It’ that explains for those new to these issues.

The video ties in to our effort to save the newest unlicensed spectrum, ‘TV white spaces,’ from being auctioned away to the biggest wireless companies. If you agree after watching the video that we need to protect and promote open spectrum as well as get more licensed spectrum to AT&T and Verizon, please click through to our petition.”
