• Open Spectrum Foundation
  Open Spectrum" is based on the realization that technology can reduce or even eliminate the need for governments to micro-manage wireless communication. In different contexts it can be viewed as an ideal of freedom in the use of radio frequencies, as a critique of traditional spectrum management, and as a possibility arising from trends in radio design. The aim was to promote awareness of "open spectrum" concepts outside North America, and to advocate the expansion of the radio bands available for license-exempt use.
