The Myth of Radio Spectrum Interference

Posted by michael on from the monsters-and-boogiemen dept.

Selanit writes "Just came across a fascinating article on Salon about a technologist who claims that there is no such thing as "interference" in the radio spectrum. He argues that interference is a symptom of inadequate equipment, not a fact of nature, and that with improved transceivers we could open the spectrum up to high-quality broadcasts by anyone. Reference is made to the GNU Radio Project. Neat stuff." We've posted other stories about this. I wonder if the "color" meme will catch on.

    "Hmm, this story is boring, it'll get rejected. BUT, if I had a link to a GNU project, it'll get posted... Cool !"

    Sorry for the sarcasm, but not everything should revolve around GNU... 'neway. Just my .02... from a guy who has 0 accepted stories, 7 rejected. ;-)

    You've just invalidated your own argument. You're right, I'd have trouble distinguishing them if I looked at the ground. However, I'd be able to see them clearly if I looked straight at them.
