Toward an Evolutionary Regime for Spectrum Governance - Licensing or Unrestricted Entry?

In this brief study, noted economist William J. Baumol evaluates two options for spectrum governance-a tradable license (market) approach and a commons approach. He compares the practicality of each in terms of six key issues: interference, adequacy of investment in innovation, monopoly power, preservation of diversity, service to rural areas, and the tension between vested interests and the need for adaptable arrangements.
