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.

    It is just a bunch of meaningless words slapped together with phrases that make it sound intelligent. This guy looks like a CS grad or (oh horrors) a digital designer. I would really love to see his credentials. He has no clue about communication theory. My profs would flunk him.
