Practicality is an issue though. Mostly because of our current regulation, must be said.

s/because/thanks

Our current legislation gave us a relatively "clean" frequency space. Would be so much worse without it

  • I thought "because" is a neutral word (I'm not a native speaker). The distinction between regulatory and technological problems is an important one to make - regulations can be changed. E.g. what would happen if we separated a whole band with enough bandwidth for an open mesh network?

If government regulates away personal sovereignty, you just tell a hundred million people they have personal sovereignty, and watch them decide if it's worth it to impede.
