We have been communicating wirelessly for over 120 years and in this episode, we pick out the developments which mapped the future direction of spectrum policy.
Professor Marc Raboy, author of “Marconi: the man who networked the world” explains the pioneer’s role during the early wireless age.
And Professor Thomas Hazlett, former chief economist at the FCC, walks us through the era of radio broadcasting chaos in the 1920s and the steps that eventually led to spectrum liberalisation.
