  1. Analogy to Homesteading is Nonsense on Should The FCC Be Abolished? · · Score: 1
    We are have three dimensional bodies. As such, we can claim to be using physical space and set up homesteads. If I live on land and successfully defend it from use by others, after a while, it becomes mine (details varying according to local statutes).

    But where is frequency space? Can anyone actually BE in it? What can you put there? How can you claim to be able to defend it if anyone, at any time, can disrupt what you do there simply by being there too, via interference?

    Frequency space, although a very well-defined idea, is not a realm that anyone can inhabit or possess. It's inherently different from land and, I believe, cannot be owned.
