- Avoids
exclusion of later entrants, who bring competition to the marketplace
and may be innovative. (Auctions of exclusively
licensed spectrum
happen once and lock latecomers out forever)
- Promotes equipment economies of scale by
maximizing ease of deployment
- Avoids Part 15 "Tragedy of the commons" by
excluding consumer devices (which already have ample spectrum)
- Cognitive radios can minimize
interference and coordinate spectrum use more efficiently than humans,
make exclusive licensing unnecessary by putting users "above the knee"
of Shannon-Hartley curve
- Cognitive radios can enforce
requirements to share spectrum fairly and not to interfere willfully --
with no effort or knowledge required of the service provider or end user
- Cognitive radios can "tattle" on unlicensed
users and abusers... or simply refuse to communicate with them
-
No need to dictate details
of radio technology beyond the spectrum etiquette
